Laser light helps to heal serious burns.
A research team from Texas and Portugal has been experimenting with light to fight cancer and has discovered a new, low-cost way to protect healthy cells. The magic formula?
Near infrared light from LED lamps combined with tin oxide nanoparticles. During treatment, the light causes the tin oxide particles to vibrate, thus heating and precisely targeting cancer cells.
In studies, 30 minutes of exposure eliminated 50% of colorectal cancer cells and 92% of skin cancer cells. Healthy skin cells remained unaffected.
Scientists in Florida, meanwhile, are creating a universal vaccine against cancer. Corals could also play a significant role here. DNA in one’s saliva, meanwhile, can predict the risk of prostate cancer.
