Using nanoparticles for cancer therapy isn’t a new concept, but according to a recent Medgadget article, it just became more efficient. A team of researchers at Oregon State University developed a new type of hyperthermic magnetic nanoparticle that through localized heating can destroy tumors. Prior versions of therapeutic nanoparticles could only be heated to 44 degrees Celsius, which limited their effectiveness. The new version can be heated under an alternating magnetic field to temperatures as high as 50 degrees Celsius for better results.
