Center advanced chronic diseases - ACCDiS

A team from the Faculty of chemical sciences and pharmaceutical of the University of Chile discovered a method for detecting early cancer. The doctor Marcelo Kogan explains the details of this research that uses gold particles to fight this disease.

The scientist Marcelo Kogan explains that gold nanoparticles contain electrons on its surface, which can interact with light in such a way that begin to vibrate with electromagnetic radiation and can absorb much energy. "That energy dissipates and can on the one hand serve to destroy cells, tumor or by another, scatter or shock of those photons which radiate, It can be used to detect certain abnormalities in the body in a very sensitive manner".

“Going to see applications clear of the knowledge of the researcher Japanese that is van to translate in treatments for diseases that until the moment not have cures”. says Dr. Claudio Hetz.

Nobel Prize in medicine lies in Japanese that gives clues to diseases of old age this researcher showed how the cells are recycled and deleted the contents that are damaged to stay healthy. Sebastian Urbina for many scientists, it was inevitable that the 2016 Nobel Prize in Medicine would be awarded to the Japanese biologist, Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi (71).
