Carbon Nanotubes Cook Cancer

The Earth needs new way of murdering cancer cell , and scientists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center havedelivered . Their arm ? The much - hyped carbon nanotube , which aside from being electrically conductive , able to be woven into stronger - than - steel material , and just all - around amazing , also happens to utile as an anti - cancer smart projectile . By attaching the tubes to an antibody that searches out cancers and binds to it , nanotech expert Pavitra Chakravarty and her colleague receive a fashion to deliver carbon nanotube to the Crab . Just about the only affair the tubes appear unequal to of is acquit a load , though , so research worker fired near - infrared brightness level at the tubes , wake them up until they make the genus Cancer into oblivion .

Previous work with antibodies - as - cancer - killing - smart - missiles has involved attaching unattackable , nasty chemotherapy drug to the antibodies . That ’s a good option , but even better would be to not have harsh chemicals disperse in your stemma flow in the first position . Using nanotubes and infrared light is a good , pretty secure alternative because IR radiotherapy does n’t damage living tissue . The only drawback is the tumors will need to be less than 1.5 inch mysterious in the body , about the terminus ad quem for the actinotherapy ’s potency .
