Rice-sized warrior: New LED device uses light to destroy deep cancers
New technology uses light-activated dye to trigger immune response against deep-seated tumors, potentially revolutionizing cancer treatment.
“It turns out that the kind of light, in this case green, that doesn’t penetrate as deeply, has the capability of producing a more robust response against the cancer cells.” “Our goal is to induce just a little bit of pyroptotic cell death, which will then trigger the immune system to start attacking the cancer,” said Bradley Smith, professor of chemistry and biochemistry and co-author of the paper. Apart from delivering targeted light therapy, this tiny device will also act as a real-time monitor, allowing doctors to fine-tune the treatment based on the tumor’s response.
