Application for cancer curing

~2~ An Ongoing research at Yale University demonstrates that


carbon nanotubes may provide an optimal surface for growing
cancer-fighting cells.

~Z~ The researchers are using carbon nanotube (CNT) polymer


composites to incubate cytoxic T-cells — nicknamed "killer
cells" because these white blood cells attack and kill infected
or cancerous cells. The novel technique is being tested for use
in adoptive immunotherapy, an emerging treatment in which
cells are removed from a patient, enhanced in the lab and
then injected back into the bloodstream to boost the patient’s
ability to fight infection or cancer.
