An amazing medical achievement.. Destroying 99% of cancer cells with an innovative technology
A team of scientists has achieved an unprecedented scientific achievement, represented by the invention of a new technology based on "aminocyanin" molecules to destroy cancer cells with amazing accuracy and effectiveness.
Using near-infrared rays, researchers from Rice, Texas A&M, and the University of Texas universities were able to excite these molecules to perform a synchronized vibrational movement capable of completely tearing apart the membranes of cancer cells, which led to a success rate of 99% in laboratory experiments.
A new generation of medical technology
According to a report by the Science Alert website, scientists have called this technology "molecular hammers", which represents a huge development compared to previous systems.
According to Dr. James Tour, one of the authors of the study, these molecular hammers are more than a million times faster than their predecessors, and they are also activated by near-infrared rays, making them capable of reaching deep within the body to treat tumors without the need for surgery.
In an experiment on mice with melanoma tumors, the technique showed amazing results, as half of the mice were completely cured of cancer, which is a promising achievement in the treatment of incurable tumors, especially those located in areas that are difficult to reach with traditional surgery, such as bones and internal organs.
A method that is difficult to resist
In the same context, the report indicated that the unique strength of this technique lies in its simplicity and effectiveness, as it relies on a mechanical mechanism that makes it difficult for cancer cells to develop resistance to it.
The experimenters stated that "for the first time, molecular plasmons are used to stimulate a mechanical movement that directly targets the destruction of cancer cells," noting that the initial results are very promising, and pave the way for using this approach to combat various forms of cancer.
A future without complicated surgeries
What also distinguishes this technique, according to scientists, is its potential to reach deep tumors without affecting the surrounding tissues.
The team plans to expand its research to study other types of molecules that can be used in the same way.
According to the report, this achievement is not just a scientific development, but rather a huge step towards redefining how to combat cancer using innovative technology that offers hope to millions of patients around the world.
