Israeli Technion University develops nanoscopic system for combating childhood cancers.

<html>
<p><br></p>
<p>Cancers in infants and children are more and more frequent and are often difficult to treat due the still developing systems in their bodies. It is also difficult to have medical, clinical trials done for them. Since chemo and radiation therapies target all cells, something needed to be done to specifically target cancerous cells and reduce the risks and number of side-effects.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Scientists at Israel's Technion University have developed a system to tag cancer cells, and a nano-particle therapy to target those tagged cells alone. In lab tests with rats, the procedure has been shown to reduce tumors and increase life expectancy by 42%.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Though particularly relevant for children, I see no reason why this treatment will not also be suitable for adults.</p>

In my lab, we have been able to make nanotechnology systems to deliver anti-cancer drugs so they can be released just in the area of the tumor. 

I wish they could offer me more explanation about this new treatment but apparently they have patented, because nanotech can mean a lot of things, I have a few ideas but with so vague info is kinda impossible to see how it works.

Thanks for sharing your post with us.

I wonder what kind of collaboration you could make if you contacted Technion? You're right, the news clip was very vague, not made for scientists like you.

You're welcome and thanks for commenting.
