Abracadabra! Nanoparticles Make Cancer Cells Rise
Eric Bland, Discovery News
July 31, 2008 -- By binding magnetic nanoparticles to human ovarian cancer cells, researchers at Georgia Tech can make the cancerous cells rise to the skin surface by simply passing a magnet over them.
The research could be used to identify and remove not only against ovarian cancer cells, but also other cancer cells, bacteria and viruses.
"In principle this technique could be applied to any pathogen that is found in the blood stream," said John McDonald, a scientist at Georgia Tech and coauthor of the paper that appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
