This is such exciting news! Now, perhaps, those being treated with chemotherapy can avoid all the horrible side affects and get even more effective treatment to kill their cancer.
Already my mind is swimming with possibilities of other uses for this nanotechnology! Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could deliver medicine directly to arthritis-damaged joints, or how about targeting specific brain or nerve tissues with enzymes to restore mobility or help slow serious nerve diseases. . . wow. There are so many possibilities in our future--so many new ways to heal the sick.
Thank G-d for the wisdom, intellect, and creativity of this new generation of healers!!

Israeli Researchers: A Precision Bomb for Cancer Cells

Chemotherapy, while considered an effective cancer treatment, also brings debilitating side effects such as nausea, liver toxicity and a battered immune system.
Now, a new way to deliver this life-saving therapy to cancer patients has been developed by researches at Tel Aviv University. The breakthrough technology consists of a nano-sized vehicle with the ability to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly into cancer cells while avoiding interaction with healthy cells, increasing the efficiency of chemotherapeutic treatment while reducing its side effects.
