Nanobee To Fight Cancer
Several decades back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nanotechnology was just starting. Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it was able to penetrate many industries at an amazing level. The development seemed rapid. And because it poses minimal risk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an even wide application is expected in the coming years. As of the latest improvements,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], particularly in medicine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is the nanobee.
Promising results of nanobee use in tumor treatment brighten the hope of cancer patients following the tests conducted on mice. Dr. Samuel Wickline,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], director of the Siteman Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence at Washington University in St. Louis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Missouri,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said that for about five years, the treatment would be widely available for humans.
Nanobee,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which uses nanotech,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is designed to destroy cancer cells by delivering a synthesized version of toxin called mellitin that is also found in bees. Wickline explained that Melittin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which would otherwise result in substantial destruction of red blood cells and other normal tissues if it were delivered intravenously alone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is completely safe when it's on a nanoparticle.
Nanobees,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], by contrast,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are engineered to travel directly to tumor cells without harming any others. They leave the healthy cells alone because the blood vessels around a tumor are like a "postal address" for the nanobees,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wickline said. These vessels express a particular protein to which a substance on the nanobees has a chemical affinity.
Other researchers, though in doubt whether the treatment will be available soon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], do not disagree on the possible success of nanobees. Dr. Ellen Vitetta said it will be at least 10 years before this approach finally gets into the market. She reasoned that what works in mice doesn't always work on humans. Vitetta also works on targeted nanotech cancer therapies, targeted antibody cancer treatment in particular,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
By the middle of next year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nanotech technique for prostrate cancer treatment will in the clinical trials said Robert Langer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor and a leader in the nanotech field. We can help by showing support as these researchers further the test. In time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the treatment would be performed by people in nursing uniforms with clear view of successfully curing cancer.
