0:00:00hi i'm which one
0:00:01in doctor james dean felt and without a breakthrough worth your each answer magnetic then
0:00:07of particles
0:00:09the concept behind this is simple if you put iron particles in an alternating magnetic
0:00:13field they flip back and forth in create a lot of heat if they were
0:00:18inside a tumour you would could the cancer
0:00:20researchers have been trying to make this work for yes by the problem is i
0:00:25and it starts at their net
0:00:27you can avoid voicing the body i to correctly injecting into the tumour however
0:00:33this missus many areas and the tumour we grows we thought a better way
0:00:37would be to use intravenous
0:00:39or i the injection simply inject into a vein and that the circulatory system to
0:00:44a more even than the average of the cancer
0:00:47whatever is found to do this we first had make a random particles very nontoxic
0:00:52here in our problems we engineered an of particle with the night before and wrapped
0:00:57it in a pile compatible shell the i four will still react to it magnetic
0:01:02field but it's cap safely out of direct contact with the body
0:01:06the next problem was targeting on mac net and then of particles have to be
0:01:10the brass j
0:01:11and specifically target that formant we decided to take advantage of a natural property of
0:01:17cancer called e p r
0:01:19since to most of growing they call on the body to create not of new
0:01:23proposals in and around
0:01:25new blood vessels are leaky so anything of a particular size in the bloodstream will
0:01:30pass through and accumulate in the tumour but stay out of helping areas
0:01:34once we got a banana particle is to adjust the right size worked in a
0:01:39nap animal this after id ingestion
0:01:41that can was became high denoted with sixteen times the concentration in a global compared
0:01:46to the adjacent healthy tissues
0:01:48the next step was to put our test animals insider rapidly alternating magnetic field
0:01:53using an infrared camera to measure temperature we can see a working
0:01:58the tumours easily heat up to a lethal temperature they actually liquefied while surrounding healthy
0:02:03tissue stays cool and unharmed
0:02:06the results are dramatic with a single three minute treatment
0:02:09but to most are completely eradicated but the precision finer than the surgeon's knife we
0:02:15have achieved an actual curate of summary h and ninety percent in mice
0:02:19it's also great news for combinations there were cheating is used to greatly amplified human
0:02:24radiation so far it's been difficult to he deep tumours but magnetic seating is perfect
0:02:30for this
0:02:31the next step is really exciting or working with the national institutes of health
0:02:35and preparation for f d a probably need to bring dissipation
0:02:39as soon as possible
0:02:40there's a long road of testing ahead
0:02:43or where very hopeful
0:02:45with these very promising results
0:02:47to normal are please visit us and then a props outcome
