Graphene Shows Promise In Eradication Of Stem Cancer Cells
Abstract:
Graphene was made in a lab in 2003, but by 2014, it reportedly reached $9 million in sales predominately in electronics, battery energy and semiconductors. Graphene is 100 times stronger than steel by weight and efficiently conducts heat and electricity. It's a new material that can store bits of small energy or make battery terminals more efficient.
Scientists at the University of Manchester, England decided to use graphene in a completely different way: to neutralize cancer stem cells (CSC) and not harm other cells.
