Nanotechnology holds hope for targeting of cancer cells
Applying nanotechnology with laser therapy may offer hope for treating cancer in hard-to-reach and highly risky areas. Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center are using carbon nanotubes — threads of hollow carbon that are 10,000 times thinner than a human hair — to target tumors. The researchers demonstrated their latest developments last week before the American Association of ... Read More »
