| Do you remember the Smart Bomb footage of the | | | | Similar to starving out enemy insurgents and then |
| Gulf Wars on CNN, where the bomb was launched | | | | attacking them from the air with precision smart |

| some really brilliant folks at MIT had an idea. A cancer | | | | like team, is like a balloon within a localized grid of the |
| drug which could go to a cancer cell and penetrate it | | | | modern net-centric battlespace. A balloon within a |
| like a sponge and then seal-a-meal itself in the | | | | balloon, where it releases the treatment, an |
| cancerous region. Then go off and attack the | | | | anti-angiogenic drug thus the blood vessels feeding |
| cancerous region without hurting nearby cells. Wow. | | | | the tumor then collapse, which means the loaded |
| How did they do it? Using nano-articles, that's how. | | | | nanoparticles are trapped in the tumor, and release |
| The lethal dose of anti-cancer toxins goes off like | | | | the chemotherapy. It worked in the mice, now it is |
