The gold atoms heat up rapidly and 'cook' the affected cells. <br/><br/>The question I have is: If we're able to use such specific monoclonal antibodies to deliver the nanoparticles, why haven't we used the same MAB's to deliver specific chemotherapies? ^^To the above question: The radio waves transfer energy (an amount proportional to their frequency) and cause the metal atoms to vibrate.

So I didn’t want to let the possible impression settle in that these were simply the opinions of one individual. This unprecedented broadly-based team applies ten standardized criteria to the evaluation of all stories.
