US scientists destroyed 99% of cancer cells using vibrating molecules activated by infrared light. The results of the experiment were published in the journal Nature Chemistry.
The new cancer treatment is based on aminocyanine dyes, which are already used to stain biological tissues to diagnose cancer. Now scientists have shown that when irradiated with near-infrared light, aminocyanin molecules begin to vibrate rapidly and synchronously, mechanically disrupting the membrane of cancer cells. In tests on laboratory-grown cancer cells, the method destroyed 99% of the cells. It was also tested on mice with melanoma (skin cancer): about half of the animals were cancer-free.
At the same time, aminocyanins were vibrating a million times faster than Fehring’s visible light-activated molecular machines; Thanks to these machines, Bernard Fehring received the Nobel Prize. The use of near-infrared light is another important benefit of aminocyanins as they can penetrate deeper tissues of the body. Scientists hope this could potentially make it possible to treat bone and internal organ cancer without surgery.
