The experiment was successfully carried out on mice with tumors. They were treated for just 15 minutes a day for 15 days.
Scientists have developed a wireless brain implant that could save more than 100,000 people who die each year from aggressive brain tumors. The device keeps them warm for two weeks. Thus, it allows patients to be treated at home. The Daily Mail writes about it.
The transmitter sends electrical signals to the brain chip, which then converts them into infrared light. The latter activates the nanoparticles around the tumor, generating heat to kill the brain tumor.
The innovation, developed by researchers at Stanford Medicine, is implanted between the skin and the skull and raises the temperature to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, which scientists say is enough to kill cancer cells without damaging the surrounding tissue. brain tissue.
A technique that uses heat called photothermal treatment is already used to treat tumors, but is only possible during surgery.
The brain chip is equipped with an antenna to pick up electrical signals from a remote transmitter, which are then converted into infrared light that activates the nanoparticles.
“The nanoparticles help us target the treatment only to the tumor, so the side effects are relatively less compared to chemotherapy and radiation. The power and wavelength of the implant’s light can also be adjusted to target the tumors of different sizes and locations in the brain. The structure and dose of the nanoparticles were calibrated in such a way as to generate the right amount of heat,” the team said in a statement.
It will be remembered that the Medical University of South Carolina found an effective natural cure for cervical cancer.
In the United States a drug was invented for the treatment of cancer with 100% effectiveness
