Scientists have developed a new type of nanoparticles that can aim, image and destroy tumor cells. This technology can also be used to develop means by which cancer can be cured.
The system contains gold nanoparticles which branching polymers called dendrimers. These dendrimers sprout out from the surface of the nanoparticles. These particles can be used to launch a multiprong attack against the tumors.
The arms of these dendrimers can carry many different molecules, including those that can fight cancer cells and even drugs that can slow their growth or destroy them completely.
Scientists aim that this method should be able to destroy the cancer cells without harming anything else in the body. Currently researchers are pursuing tests on animals and once the technology pass some more tests then it should be made available for human use.

If it’s true then why is it still a very rampant case in our society?

This must a a very good news for the world
This is very helpful discovery if really proven. Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world and lots of people wanted to have a way of treatment that can really cure this disease. Speaking of Gold in other matters, Gold may be the most stable of all investments, as the price is usually on the rise – unlike a payday advance. The value of gold has steadily risen over the last few years, even during a recession. Nicer if Gold Nanoparticles will be the solution in treating cancer patients.
Wow what a cool idea for it. I guess it would injected into the tumour directly? I guess that would make it hard for certain cancers though like lymphoma or leukemia.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Keep posting bro.
