Magnets Targeting Cancer


NEw research done at the University Edinburght states that the nanomagnets could be guided to the site of a tumour magnetically. Heat would then be used from an external magnetic field to either destroy the cancerous tissue or release drugs attached to the magnets.

This is a huge!! Although research is only in the early stages, it may provide incredible results.

The research had been published in the journal of Nature Nanotechnology.
