New Technique Destroyed 99% of Cancer Cells in Lab Study
Groundbreaking advancements in cancer treatment have emerged as scientists unveil a revolutionary method to dismantle cancer cells. This groundbreaking discovery involves the activation of aminocyanine molecules through near-infrared light, causing synchronized vibrations that rupture cancer cell membranes.
Aminocyanine molecules, recognized for their application in bioimaging as synthetic dyes, have long been utilized to detect cancer at low doses. These stable molecules exhibit a remarkable affinity for attaching themselves to cell exteriors.
Researchers from Rice University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas spearheaded this transformative approach, marking a substantial leap from previous cancer-killing molecular machines like Feringa-type motors.
Describing these novel molecular machines as molecular jackhammers, chemist James Tour from Rice University notes their unprecedented speed and responsiveness to near-infrared light compared to their predecessors.
The significance of near-infrared light lies in its ability to penetrate deeper into the body, potentially offering non-surgical treatment options for cancers within bones and organs. (Read more from “New Technique Destroyed 99% of Cancer Cells in Lab Study” HERE)
