Potential Cure For Cancer Discovered
The unusual cells that may spread cancer are hard to isolate from millions of other cells. The new device, a potential cure for cancer, has been developed by scientists at Princeton and Boston Universities to direct and focus cell streams in a liquid and separate them out according to the size.
The device is in fact a silicon wafer with rows of small pillars through which a flow is made from a liquid that contains particles of various sizes. Thanks to friction, the liquid moves more slowly close to the pillars. This way, small particles are unaffected, but those acceding a critical size are sorted out.
The device hasn’t been used anywhere socially, but this discovery may get the phenomenal turn and save many lives.
