Angela's idea was to mix cancer medicine in a polymer that would attach to nanoparticles -- nanoparticles that would then attach to cancer cells and show up on an MRI. so doctors could see exactly where the tumors are. Then she thought shat if you aimed an infrared light at the tumors to melt the polymer and release the medicine, thus killing the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells completely unharmed.

The solution has already been tested and proven almost completely successful in mice.

holy fucking shit.

please let this work out in humans as well.

No Fucking Way

MARK OUT FOR MANKIND if true.

I cant believe this would work on all types of cancer, nor do I believe that cancer cells couldn't adapt to overcome this.

Either way I don't find this great if true. Overpopulation is already rapidly increasing and diseases are being overcome and we're going to be fucked in 2 decades or so with a population crisis that won't simply be curable.

If this is a full blown cure, then that's fucking awesome.

what an optimist you are.

this is great news.

Nah, I'm just being realistic.

"OMG GUIES CANCER HAS BEEN CURED, ALL PROBLEMS SOLVED, YAYZ"

Just creates more problems with overpopulation and the problems that it causes with lack of resources to maintain the amount of people, etc. And this sounds like a cure that cancer cells can overcome and adapt to, which just means super cancer cells will evolve from it.

Can I take her to the prom?

**WWF** · 01-17-2012, 10:29 PM

Asian? Of course.

Overpopulation might be an issue but I'd rather have a slightly higher population with healthier individuals. Even so, they said its still years away from being in a workable form for humans.
