Genetically engineered algae kills 90% of cancer cells without harming healthy cells
Algae has been genetically engineered to kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells. The algae nanoparticles, created by scientists in Australia, were found to kill 90% of cancer cells in cultured human cells. The
algae was also successful at killing cancer in mice with tumours.
Diatom algae is a type of tiny, unicellular, photosynthesising algae. It measures just four to six micrometres in diameter and is enclosed within a porous skeleton made of silica. Because chemotherapeutic drugs are
often toxic to healthy tissue, the researchers were able to hide the drugs inside the algae.Read more... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Fw4SsubnU&list=PLK2ccNIJVPpBTWAazlaPhTdWJcj0gtcPJ
