Nanotechnology has helped scientists cure mice which have breast cancer in its terminal stage. The study could be a turning point in treating the disease with clinical trials on human patients expected to be conducted as early as next year.
“I would never want to over-promise to the thousands of patients looking for a cure but the data is astounding,” Mauro Ferrari, president of the Houston Methodist Research Institute in Texas and a co-senior author of the paper said in the press release published by the Houston Methodist leading medicine website.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from Houston Methodist Research Institute, was published in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
