‘Smart bomb’ plan to kill cancer cells

July 6th, 2010 No comments

Cancer AwarenessAgain, I am just amazed at all the new medical procedures that are comeing out today. Sure this is just research but it is one step closer to eliminating this horrible disease.

Researchers are working on a “smart bomb” drug delivery system which they say would actively search out and destroy cancer cells within the body.

It would also have fewer side-effects than conventional chemotherapy, says Deakin University’s Associate Professor Wei Duan, who heads the project in collaboration with scientists in India.

“Cancer cells are particularly difficult to kill as they contain so-called cancer stem cells, the root or seed cancer cells that are resistant to drugs,” Dr Duan said in a statement.

“While current treatments kill the bulk of the cancer cell, the cancer root escapes the therapy and can regenerate into a new cancer mass.

“The aim of our research is to develop a smart bomb that can penetrate the cell and release the drugs within the cells, rather than from the outside, and kills the whole tumour, root and all.”

FOXNews.com – Scientists Unlock Tiny Mystery of Matter.

This stuff is totally amazing.  It is very cool to be alive at a time when scientific knowledge is advancing quicker then ever before but it is also scary.  Scary because the scientists are messing with stuff that makes up the universe and I wonder what would happen if they do something wrong.

I am in complete awe when I contemplate what knowledge our grandkids will have.  Will they be amazed at the small amount of technology we have like we are about our grandparents?
