Scientists Discovered A Method that Kills Up To 99% Of Cancer Cells

If a person is diagnosed with cancer, there is a possibility of a complete recovery, but if it is diagnosed early, the treatment of the disease can be very painful.

But now scientists have found a new way to treat cancer which has been proven to be 99% effective in laboratory experiments.

American scientists activated aminocyanine molecules through near-infrared light, which succeeded in destroying cancer cells.

These molecules are now used for bioimaging and are often used to help detect cancer.

This discovery was reported in a joint research by Rice University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas.

Research has discovered that specific molecules are effective in killing cancer cells.

The researchers said that this new method will allow the creation of new molecular machines, which we have named molecular jackhammers.

He said the procedure would be 1 million times faster than the Feringa-type motors used in older molecular cancer-killing machines, and the molecular jackhammers would be activated by infrared light instead of ordinary light.

The new method was tested on laboratory-grown cancer cells and succeeded in killing 99 percent of the cells.

This procedure was also tested on mice exposed to blood cancer tumors and 50% of these animals were able to get rid of the cancer.

“We have discovered how these molecules work,” the researchers said.

According to him, this is the first discovery that molecular plasmon can be used to treat cancer in this way and can eliminate cancer cells through them.

The plasmon allows molecules to bind to the membrane of cancer cells while creating a vibration that kills the diseased cells.

According to the researchers, the research is still in its early stages, but the results so far have been encouraging.

He said he plans to use other types of molecules to test their effects.

The results of this research were published in the journal Nature Chemistry.
