Potential Treatment for Breast Cancer Devised by Researchers

Potential Treatment for Breast Cancer Devised by Researchers " Potential Treatment for Breast Cancer Devised by Researchers at Queen University; Cause Behind Rare Skin Cancer Identified; Study: Food Treats to Pacify Kids Do More Harm " Researchers at the Queen University have developed a new gene technology that will help in the self-destruction of cancer cells. The technology is a gene transport system and has been named Designer Biomimetic Vector (DBV). The pioneering technology is of benefit because it can package a gene into extremely small nanoparticles, which allow the gene to be delivered inside cancerous cells. News regarding the research has already appeared in the publication known as the International Journal of Pharmaceutics and was funded by the Breast Cancer Campaign. Talking about the study, Dr. Helen McCarthy, from the School of Pharmacy, Queen University, said that providing treatment by amalgamating Designer Biomemtic Vector and iNOS has proved to b...
