Nano-scale worms made out of rust may be the next big breakthrough in cancer treatment says an American study.
Nano-scale worms made out of rust may be the next big breakthrough in cancer treatment says an American study.
Dr. Erkki Ruoslahti of the Burnham Institute for Medical Research has found that iron oxide nanoworms can bind to tumours when coated with tumour-homing peptides.
The researchers are presently trying to develop nanoparticles that will seek out tumours in the body, send a diagnostic signal, and release a drug at the site of the tumour in a controlled manner.
