New Delhi, 7 April (IANS). A team of scientists from the Institute of Science and Technology, Science and Technology Advanced Studies (IASST) of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) have developed new magnetic nanopathy, which will help in promoting cancer treatment.
The magnetic system developed using nanopathy treats cancer by increasing the temperature of tumor cells. This system works through a process called magnetic hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer.
Cancer is considered one of the most dangerous diseases. Among many available treatment methods, the most effective treatment for cancer cells is radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and stem cell transplant.
All cancer treatment methods have demonstrated many side effects. Apart from being expensive, treatment is also inaccessible for many people.
The IASST team focused on nanomagnet, which opened a targeted heat production process (hyperthermia) to treat cancer cells. This therapy comes with comparatively less side effects and is controlled by the magnetic field from outside.
Due to the direct impact on self-heating efficacy of various physical parameters of nanomagnet, it is challenging to create and control bio-friendly magnetic nanopes with effective heat production efficiency.
Thus, the team synthesized the nanocristline cobalt chromite magnetic nanopathy with individual rare-earth dopen dopen dopy material using the traditional chemical co-intervention route.
The odds of these magnetic nanopathy in fluid form were used to generate heat under the alternative magnetic field applied. “
Researchers said, “The heat production method of magnetic nanopartan can be used in the treatment of cancer cells, in which cell temperature is increased to 46 ° C for a specific period, which leads to necrosis in injured cells when applied to special cancer locations,”.
These findings have recently been published in Nanoskel Advances, which is a magazine with Royal Society of Chemistry, UK equivalent review.
