"Revolutionary Breakthrough: Molecular Jackhammers Obliterate 99% of Cancer Cells"
Scientists have developed "molecular jackhammers" using aminocyanine molecules and near-infrared light to destroy cancer cells by shaking them to death. These molecules attach to cell membranes and, when activated with light, create powerful vibrations that punch through the cell membrane, effectively destroying it. In lab tests, the process killed approximately 99% of melanoma cells, and in living animal tests on mice with melanoma, half of the animals were completely cancer-free after treatment. The use of near-infrared light allows these molecules to potentially treat tumors and cancer cells in deep tissues, offering a promising new approach in cancer treatment.
