Team of scientists Chinese developed battery implantable and self-loading, which helps to kill tumor cells regulation of the environment supporting tumor growth.

To reduce tumor volume by 90% in an average of two weeks and kill the tumor in four out of five mice, the battery is combined with a prodrug called tirapazamineThis was reported yesterday by the state news agency Xinhua.

Here’s How It Works

Made from biocompatible materials, battery According to a study published in the journal, a shock self-charging cycle can be formed to constantly consume oxygen in the tumors of mice. Scientific achievements this Saturday April 1st.

With this cycle, it was possible to regulate the oxygen content and the pH level of the tumor in mice.

battery it can be implanted subcutaneously on the surface of a tumor to adequately cover it and can be used as an effective microenvironment regulator for antitumor therapy.

During treatment, no abnormal changes in body weight, skin and normal organs of mice were reported, indicating the safety of the drug in vivo. battery.

This work is a cross-sectional study of technology batteries and biotherapy, which not only provides a novel treatment modality for antitumor therapy, but also sets a precedent for batteries in biomedical applications,” said Xia Yongyao, a professor at Fudan University and co-author of the paper, Xinhua. study. .
