Researchers say the fluorescent probe can track how tumours are responding to the drugs, which harness the body’s immune system to fight disease.

Posted Today The goal of modern cancer treatments is to kill off cancer cells while causing the least amount of damage to the surrounding tissue. This is not easy to do with current therapies, which often cause significant side effects. Now researchers at the University of Edinburgh have tested new light-activated drugs that use a Trojan horse technique to kill cancer and bacterial cells. Cancer and bacterial cells ten to be greedy and consume more of the chemical food compounds for energy, whi...

Scientists said the drug is the ‘ideal prey for harmful cells’.

Researchers have successfully tested a “Trojan Horse” drug which can kill cancer and bacterial cells without damaging nearby healthy tissue. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh combined the tiny cancer-killing molecule SeNBD with a chemical food compound to trick malignant cells into ingesting it. The peer-reviewed experimental study was carried out on zebrafish and human cells, but researchers say more studies are needed to confirm if it is a safe and swift method of treating early s...

11:56 EDT, 31 May 2021 Researchers have successfully tested a new drug which can kill cancer cells without damaging nearby healthy tissue - removing the need for chemotherapy. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh combined the tiny cancer-killing molecule called SeNBD with a chemical food to trick the harmful cells into ingesting it. Cancerous cells are greedy and need to consume high amounts of food for energy and they typically ingest more than healthy cells, the experts said. By coupli...
