Bullet-like nanoparticles heat and destroy cancer cells from the inside

Tiny nanoscale materials offer unique properties, and one way scientists are looking to leverage these is by taking aim at cancer cells of different kinds. A research team in the UK have demonstrated how an adaptation of this technology can be used to tackle mesothelioma, a hard-to-treat cancer caused by asbestos exposure, with a little help from laser light.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Nanoparticle, University of Cambridge, University of Leeds, Gold
