Magnetic Nanoparticles Shown to Seek Out and Identify Cancer Cells

Magnetic Nanoparticles Shown to Seek Out and Identify Cancer Cells

Scientists have found that magnetic nanoparticles can be especially helpful in locating cancerous cell clusters during MRI scans. Like teeny guide missiles, the nanoparticles seek out tumor cells and attach themselves to them. Once the nanoparticles bind themselves to these cancer cells, the particles operate like radio transmitters, greatly aiding the MRI's detection capability
