Physical Sciences Technology War On Cancer: Magnetic Robot Army As a terminal disease threatening human existence, cancer alters DNA in human cells, causing uncontrolled cell division and ultimately spreads the disease. In order to destroy these abnormal cells, radiations are used but difficulty arises in targeting radiations to these abnormal cells without affecting neighboring healthy cells. In order to combat the disease effectively, a solution […] Written by Afaf Kayani 2018-02-082020-08-31 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Science Can Your Saliva Tell Whether You Have Cancer? Seriously? Cancer in saliva? Yes, bio technology has given us another breakthrough by identifying presence of any carcinogenic compounds in the saliva of a person. Gone are the days of painful cancer biopsy tests. This new saliva test can determine the presence of any carcinogens sticking with the persons’ DNA, meddling with the genes related […] Written by Aneeqa Tahir 2018-01-152018-01-20 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
