Nanomaterials Used in Possible Cancer Cure

Moiche writes "Medical researchers at CalTech and the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles have successfully inhibited cancer growth in mice by wrapping engineered RNA in nanomaterials and introducing them into the bloodstream. Two polymers and a special coating allow the therapeutic RNA to enter the cancer cell and release the therapeutic RNA payload. The new technique has slowed or prevented the development of secondary tumors in lab mice with Ewing's sarcoma. Further testing is planned on humans, and with other cancers. The Diamond Age seems closer, day by day."

Have you ever tried to changed your internal pH to be alkaline balance? I'm sure you haven't cause you would be dead.

In which case it would most definitely be impossible for cancer to form.

The technique works!
