Scientists continue to work on a promising system to destroy cancer cells, using climate rather of surgery.
exploration brigades from Rice University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas have discovered that the tittles in color motes, frequently used for medical imaging, can joggle in accord when stimulated. When the color tittles are stimulated by a near- infrared light, the membranes of the cancer cells rupture.
According to Houston's Rice University, the system had a 99 effectiveness rate against lab societies of mortal carcinoma cells and half of the mice with carcinoma tumours within the study came cancer free after the treatment.
Rice University druggist James Tour called the treatment" molecular jackhammers."
" It's a whole new generation of molecular machines," he said.
" They're further than one million times briskly in their mechanical stir than( analogous) motors, and they can be actuated with near- infrared light rather than visible light."
Using near- infrared light ensures the light can access far deeper into the body than visible light can, having access to organs and bones without damaging towel.
Near- infrared light can go as deep as 10 centimetres into the mortal body whereas visible light is only suitable to access half a centimetre into the body.
Scientists are saying this discovery means cancer in bones and organs could potentially be treated without surgery, due to the near- infrared lights.
The experimenters say the coming way for them is to find other motes that can be used also to treat cancers" at the molecular scale".
