I can destroy 99% of cancer cells in a lab using a hammer. The important part is whether you can do the same in a person without killing them.
You’d think that it would be a might difficult getting a hammer into a body, but I salute you.
You don’t need to. Just keep hammering away until you reach the cancer. Phase II trials start soon.
^Need volunteers.
I would argue it is actually quite easy to get a hammer into a body. Precision and accuracy are the larger concerns.
What if we insert it and used a MRI machine to steer it at the speed of sound
Have you read the article?
Yeah I’ve read the article and I’ve gone and had a little look at the scientific paper as well. The paper only mentions the effect of the molecule on cancer cells and does not mention what effect it has or may have on normal tissue. Interestingly for their mice model they delivered the drug intratumourally. To me this suggests that the drug is not selectively taken up by the tumour cells and they you need to get around this by limiting the delivery of the drug to the site of the cancer. This is just my speculation though. However, if true it would have implications on the practicality of using this method as a cancer therapy.
“Inject the Jiggler.”
99% of non-cancerous cells were also destroyed.
That %1 is gonna be a bitch
Doesn’t a microwave vibrate molecules?
So we’re back to things like what led to the original vibrators.
