This report may be of interest. It is interesting how many new processes seem to be in the pipeline.

Hi Vee, these are very interesting articles. I know you do not have an answer to my question but maybe you can do further research? My question comes from the fact that both of these studies are intended to treat metastatic cancers. What about residual cells after a surgery? In a lot of cases surgeous have to leave possitive margines for one reason or another. It would be great to have something like this that would target only those cells leaving healthy cells alone.

Hi - I have tried to get more relevant information, but as so often, the work is still at the experimental stage and even Google Scholar doesn't turn up much more that the press report says.

What it does reveal is how much work is being done on nanomagnets and their use in medicine.

Ah well - we live in hope. Confused

Yeah, I plan to live at least 10 more years. It is awesome just to think about how many innovations researchers will find during that time.

Not to totally hijack your topic, but can you dream with me about what this forum will be like it 10 years? 50,000 members from all around the world maybe running as a no profit organization with a board of directors.... Well, I am just a little manic today Wink.
