First Anti-Cancer Nanoparticle Trial On Humans a Success

Posted by samzenpus on from the smallest-medicine dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Nanoparticles have been able to disable cancerous cells in living human bodies for the first time. The results are perfect so far, killing tumors with no side effects whatsoever. Mark Davis, project leader at CalTech, says that 'it sneaks in, evades the immune system, delivers the siRNA, and the disassembled components exit out.' Truly amazing."

    That's not targeting, though. It's equivalent to throwing a million square blocks at 999,999 round holes and one square one. You'll hit the target, but not because you were actually aiming at it.
