June 22 Zapping Cancer with Light: The Molecular Jackhammer Breakthrough That Could Eliminate Chemo HR2
Published 9 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Imagine destroying cancer cells with nothing but a common hospital dye and a beam of
light. Researchers at Rice University have unveiled a revolutionary treatment that uses a
special light to trigger violent vibrations in cancer cells, tearing them apart from the inside
with 99% efficiency in lab trials. Dubbed ‘molecular jackhammers,’ this method could
spare millions from chemo’s brutal side effects and target everything from melanoma to
breast cancer.
