Breast Cancer Cell
Researchers at Queen's University Belfast have discovered a new way of causing breast cancer cells to self destruct. Scientists used a gene and transported it using a nanoparticle to a breast cancer cell. Once there, the gene forced the cell to produce poisonous nitric oxide. Researchers say this either kills the cell, or makes it vulnerable to other treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.
