Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a malignant disease caused by uncontrolled proliferation of B-cells, a type of white blood cells. The high proliferation rate is due to blockage of the cells’ self destruction mechanism called apoptosis, which allows the cells ...

A group of scientists headed by Yoram Palti from the Technion Institute in Israel, succeeded in killing dividing cells without harming non-dividing ones using electrical charges. It turns out that an electrical field in a small enough voltage doesn’t damage ...

Today, detecting cancer metastasis and remission is possible only when a sufficient amount of cancer cells can be found. Locating cancer cells in the blood indicates whether there is a chance of developing such metastasis or if the patient is ...

The Israeli ‘Technion’ and The College of Judea and Samaria have developed a new nanobot that will be able to cruise inside the human body. In the last years scientists are making efforts to minimize robots so they will aid ...

When tumor cells resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs were subjected to very low intensity electrical stimulation, the cells acquired sensitivity to the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin. This effect has the potential to reform treatment especially for malignant tumors that are refractory to ...
