Scientists are about to bring cancer cells into space to destroy them

Scientists in Australia will send samples of living cancer cells to space in 2020 to prove this claim.

Cancer is one of the scariest mankind of mankind. It claimed the lives of many people and scientists are still in the fight against this evil disease.

Although surgery and chemotherapy may stop or slow the growth of cancer cells, they still exist and may flare up one day.

Over the years of research, dozens of methods have been developed and this time, doctors are testing a new way to kill cancer cells: Take it to space.

According to ABC News, when a cancer cell is exposed to zero gravity, it dies without any external treatment. Therefore, doctors at the University of Technology Sydney want to send the samples to space.

They believe that the zero gravity environment affects the ability to link between cancer cells and the surrounding environment.

The project's lead, Dr. Joshua Chou, told ABC: 'When we are in space, what happens to the body is that the cells start feeling that condition, called' mechanical load stoppage '.

'Because there is no gravity, the cells' ability to move, the way they function, and their life will be affected.'

The doctor spent US $ 20,000 to send test samples (cancer cells) to the International Space Station next year in anticipation of their theory. The cells are contained in a 'container' about the size of a tissue box.

Chou added: 'I don't expect this to be a direct cure, a' golden bullet 'to cure cancer but it can work in tandem with existing treatments, drugs, etc. effectiveness of therapies'.

Currently, researchers also try other methods to kill cancer cells. Bladimir Zharov, director of the nano-treatment center, Department of Medicine, University of Arkansas, is creating a laser that can accurately target and kill cancer cells.

It works by firing laser light on your skin, which is then absorbed by melanin in our blood. It will heat up causing the water around the melanin cells to evaporate. This process creates an increasingly large bubble and bursts, destroying cancer cells in the blood.

This method does not harm other cells because they are not laser targets.

Perhaps, it would not be feasible to send humans to space for cancer treatment because the average cost is too high. However, with the use of microgravity chambers, we can get closer to curing cancer, of course if the above test works.
