Tiny hitchhikers attack cancer cells

Summary:

I dont know if this is a good thing or a bad thing? Well scientist found these little microsoptic bugs that feed on and kill bacteria cells.Our drug-loaded gold nanostars are tiny hitchhikers," said Teri W. Odom, who led the study of human cervical and ovarian cancer cells. "They are attracted to a protein on the cancer cell's surface that conveniently shuttles the nanostars to the cell's nucleus. Then, on the nucleus' doorstep, the nanostars release the drug, which continues into the nucleus to do its work."  says odem

Critque:
