Ninety-nine percent of cancer drugs never make it to tumors, getting washed out of the body before they have time to do their job. How can we better deliver life-saving drugs? Cancer researcher Joy Wolfram shares cutting-edge medical research into nanoparticles — tiny particles that could be used to deliver drugs accurately to tumors — and explains how they could keep drugs in the body longer to attack malignant cells.

^^ How you all look from the outside.
Finally some is talking about this
My immediate thought is what are the drawbacks and how do we ensure no lasting harm comes from the nanoparticles?
On the other hand, if it avoids their death, it should be worth it.
Fulleren (C60) is quite safe, only cancer cells being aggressive enough to brake it open but all are held to that standard.
If the nano particles are to big to get washed out do they stay in your body forever?
@Surtac100 It could be possible to insert a self-destruct system, so they break down after a certain amount of time, or even with high-frequency radio waves or the like.
أرجو ترجمة الفيديو إلى اللغة العربية
مرحبا هذا الفيديو يتحدث عن طريقة مبتكرة و حديثة لمحاربة الأورام السرطانية بتقنية جسيمات النانو و بعض العوائق البيولوجية التي تتمثل في المناعة الذاتية أمل اني فسرت محتوى الفيديو تقريبا شكرا.
@Miox Lvax شكرا جزيلا جزيلا.
A worthy TED lecture.
Holy crap, TED hosted an actual scientific/medical talk
ikr. I know other people are more arts-based, but I don’t really want any more dance videos in my feed lol
Nanomachines, son.
particles mate quite diferent
I’ll beleive it when I see it, big pharma makes way to much money off people getting cancer.
TED actually hosting a vid about science again? That’s why I subbed months ago, but never got since.
A lot of chat online about using sound frequencies to stop most diseases recently. Another is hope with the new Quantum compter. View YouTube The Truth About Cancer Series, Free Eastern Medicine webinar out now.
Hottie
I am moved. ❤️
For a long time is the cancer treatment is well known. But it is cheap and that is the reason why the pharma industry doesn’t want to use it! Killing people and take money for it – this is the business of the medicine today!
How about we switch from treating cancer to Curing cancer just a thought
