Exclusive translation: University of Pittsburgh researchers are developing a new drug to treat cancer that will be 50,000 times smaller than the size of an ant, according to the Daily Mail.
The researchers stressed that the new “nuclear” treatment will be able to treat cancerous tumors and eliminate them completely, and will lead to a tangible scientific breakthrough.
They pointed out that the new treatment works by blocking the production of an immune protein that is inhibited in cancer patients and allows tumors to grow and spread.
The new chemotherapy works by killing rapidly growing cancer cells and is currently being tested to ensure it does not harm benign cells as well.
After testing the treatment on mice, it was found to be effective and able to completely eliminate colon and pancreatic cancer.
