Video Description: Type of Video: Story*
Description: New research is successfully using light as a precision weapon against cancer by creating an army of light-triggered nanoparticles to lead the attack. The new strategy is being used against cancer cells that have spread deep inside the body in animal studies at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Samuel Achilefu, PhD, the Michel M. Ter-Pogossian Professor of Radiology at the School of Medicine, has proven how this technique can target and attack cancer cells when light emitted from a common cancer imaging agent causes tumors to glow.
