RE: Magnetosome medicine: Using magnet-sensing bacteria to treat disease

in #steemstem6 years ago

I do remember reading the previous article by @micro24 about magnetotactic bacteria and thinking it was pretty cool. Love your example of Magnetic Hyperthermia. The unusual nature of cancer seems to require a lot of different and creative ways of dealing with it, heating up a lot of tiny little magnets is the best I have heard yet.

Sort:  

Magnetic Hyperthermia is that rare idea that manages to be fairly simple and really creative at the same time. I hope it becomes a useful treatment.
