A diagram of the synthesis of degradable nanocapsules into cell nuclei to induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells. The nanocapsules degrade harmlessly in normal cells. Image Courtesy: UCLA Engineering.
A degradable (water soluble polymer) nano shell (tinier than the smallest bacterium,)to carry proteins( cell-destroying material, apoptin, is a protein complex derived from an anaemia virus in birds.) to nucleus of cancer cells and stunt the growth of tumours without damaging healthy cells.
Advantage is, this nano delivery is devoid of risk of genetic mutation posed by gene therapies for cancer, or the risk to healthy cells caused by chemotherapy, which does not effectively discriminate between healthy and cancerous cells.
how synchronosed contractions in uterus occur during delivery?
its due to due to some electrophysiological changes that take place in the uterus.
