An international Team of researchers*is **w reporting in journal Thera**stics a way of bunching iron oxide particles doped with zinc around tumors and then crushing the nearby cells*using an external magnetic field. The Na**particles have epidermal growth factor peptides attached to them, helping the particles to hone in on a tumor. Once they’ve gathered together, a rotating magnetic field is applied at 15 Hz. This causes the Na**particles to gather in stretched out Groups that look like long *****s of rice, in the process damaging the plasma and lysosomal membranes and leading to cellular death.
Because ** ***** are used and the materials used have low toxicity, this may be a indication that safer, mechanical approaches to na**particle based tumor treatment may help avoid the nasty side effects of Cancer *****.
