[pchelpers] News:Australian scientists kill cancer cells with "trojan horse"

Michael Perry, Reuters   Published: Sunday, June 28, 2009

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian scientists have developed a "trojan horse"
therapy to combat cancer, using a bacterially-derived nano cell to
penetrate and disarm the cancer cell before a second nano cell kills it
with chemotherapy drugs.

The "trojan horse" therapy has the potential to directly target cancer
cells with chemotherapy, rather than the current treatment that sees
chemotherapy drugs injected into a cancer patient and attacking both
cancer and healthy cells.
