Chemotherapy and Cancer Gang up to Cause a Neurological Side Effect, Study Says

Chemotherapy has gotten the blame for this neurological side effect, but it's cancer's fault, too.
The activity sensor illustrated in reddish-pink with small, green attachments is shown here in its application to detect organ transplant rejection. T cells secrete the enzyme granzyme, here in gray, which kills cells but also severs the fluorescent green signal molecules from the activity sensing nanoparticle. The green signal molecules make their way into the urine, where they give off a fluorescent cue. Credit: Georgia Tech / EllaMaru Studios work for hire / press handout

Remote-Control Shoots Laser at Nano-Gold to Turn on Cancer-Killing Immune Cells

A near-infrared light, similar to that of a TV remote, combines with gold nano-particles to flip a gene switch in T-cells to hyper-activate them inside of tumors.
