hey /sci/
how's it feel to know the cure for cancer is being developed right now? And might (if we're lucky) be available for commercial use within 5 years?

tl;dw
gold nanoparticles fitted with engineered antibodies bind to the corrupted protein tags of a cancer cell. The patient lies on a table and is blasted with radio waves, making the concentrations of gold nanoparticles in the cancer cell heat up and slowly disintegrate. After a few weekly treatments you're cancer free. it's like smart-bomb chemo

That's funny. I remember studying the gold nanoparticle thing for making transgenic organisms. It makes since that you could attach specific antibodies instead of DNA.

Sounds cool; hope it works.

(wasn't sure and had to look up the plant thing; turns out it may not have been gold like I remembered, but it's still nanoparticles: http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v2/n5/abs/nnano.2007.108.html )

any type that has protein tags
(read, every single kind there is, they all have protein tags)

what ever happened with anti-angiogenesis? they were supposed to kill cancer ages ago...
