Can We Use Nanotechnology to Treat Cancer?
Could the next big change in cancer treatment actually be tiny? There are many reasons that cancer is such a difficult disease to treat. Scientists can either try to come up with new and better cancer medicines or they can find better ways for cancer patients to receive their medicines. This paper describes a possible new way to deliver cancer medicines using something called nanoparticles – ti...
متن کاملHow Can We Treat Cancer Disease Not Cancer Cells?
Since molecular biology studies began, researches in biological science have centered on proteins and genes at molecular level of a single cell. Cancer research has also focused on various functions of proteins and genes that distinguish cancer cells from normal cells. Accordingly, most contemporary anticancer drugs have been developed to target abnormal characteristics of cancer cells. Despite...
متن کاملPurdue scientists treat cancer with RNA nanotechnology
The vehicles look nothing like delivery trucks, though that is their function once inside the body. Instead, these so-called nanoparticles, which are assembled from three short pieces of ribonucleic acid, resemble miniature triangles. The microscopic particles possess both the right size to gain entry into cells and also the right structure to carry other therapeutic strands of RNA inside with ...
متن کاملFuture of Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Can Immunotherapy Treat This Deadly Subtype of Breast Cancer?
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC): challenges and solutions via the immune cells TNBC is one of the most complicated types of breast cancer to treat. It is generally diagnosed based on the absence of three receptors: estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and is thus defined as a triple negative. TNBC is often more aggressive with lower survival rates...
متن کاملCan We Use Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Treat Brain and Spinal Cord Injury and Disease?
The potential use of human embryonic stem cells for the treatment of neurological disease and injury is discussed from the perspectives of two common disease scenarios. Spinal cord injury and diseases such as multiple sclerosis that affect specific cell types in the spinal cord represent a substantial proportion of all neuropathologies and are among the most heavily targeted by efforts to estab...
