Pola Hemond (Paula Hammond): Novo superoružje u borbi protiv raka

Novo superoružje u borbi protiv raka

Rak je vrlo snalažljiva, prilagodljiva bolest. Da bismo je pobedili, kako kaže medicinski istraživač i predavač Pola Hemond, potreban nam je nov i moćan način napada. Sa svojim kolegama na MIT-u, Hemondova je konstruisala nanočesticu veličine stotog dela ljudske dlake, koja može lečiti najagresivnije vrste raka otporne na lekove. Saznajte više o ovom molekularnom superoružju i pridružite se potrazi Hamondove u borbi protiv bolesti koja pogađa sve nas.

Aggressive, drug-resistant cancers can outsmart even the most advanced treatments by using genetic mutations to survive. A new approach uses molecular engineering to create nanoparticles, one one-hundredth the width of a human hair, designed to slip past the body’s defenses and attack tumors from within. In animal trials with triple-negative breast cancer, these nanoparticles not only halted tumor growth but even caused tumors to shrink or disappear. The strategy offers hope for personalizing cancer treatment and tackling even the toughest cases.
