Nanoshell particles

 by James Rickman

Nanoshell therapy is comprised of three components:
- an off-the-shelf near infrared laser source
- an off-the-shelf interstitial fiber optic probe delivers the laser energy to a site near or inside the tumor
- the investigational nanoshell particles, a near-infrared absorbing, inert material designed to absorb and convert the laser energy into heat.

 I highly recommend reading about Nanoparticles in cancer targeting therapies. This was posted in GEN (Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News) Many Stock Ideas here. I will post more on each company soon. This is the future of Biotechnology.

Nanotechnology Enables Precise Cancer Targeting
Patricia F. Dimond, Ph.D.

Second-generation nanotherapeutics to treat cancer have drawn attention and funding as companies move to improve the efficacy of these treatments and expand their applications. Generally in the size range of 1–100 nm, these drugs have emerged as novel antitumor agents because they have the potential to deliver high concentrations of drugs to cancer cells and cause less toxicity than systemically administered drugs.
