Men's sperm cells will treat cancer

You will not expect men's sperm to someday be able to do more than just form embryos, specifically the ability to fight cancer, disease, AIDS and other diseases as well? This is the strange virtualism adopted by a group of German and American scientists

Researchers at the Institute for Integrated Nanoscience in Dresden said they had found a way to arm sperm cells and turn them into surgical shells that could target the cervix in women, an area that is hard to reach by traditional drugs, the US medical journal Vocativ reported.



In their latest research, the scientists injected sperm cells with anti-cancer drugs, and then squeezed the cells into a small, flexible laser-printed shell made of iron. The scientists directed the sperm using the magnet 😕 collide with cells and bodies similar to tumors
When it collides, the sperm, with the help of 4 arms bent and bent on the metal shell, empties the anti-cancer drugs directly into the cancer cells to destroy them. According to the site, the metal shell slowed down the speed of the sperm by 50%, but that did not spoil its mission of delivering drugs to the cancer cells.



In their report, the team wrote that their small sperm, driven by a small hybrid motor, as described in their research, could form the basis for a new therapeutic strategy that allows the use of large doses of anticancer drugs at the site of infection, while reducing the toxic effects of cancer treatment drugs



Scientists had for some time and even

Now they are intrigued by the idea of ​​using cells
Microscopy as a carrier of drugs. However, according to the researchers, there were some flaws in these candidate cells to carry medicines, whether natural such as bacteria, or fully industrial, such as micro-nanoparticles. For example, bacteria can stimulate the body's immune system to attack them and are on track to better deliver the treatment



But sperm can move through the female genital tract, releasing chemicals naturally, stopping any warnings that might make the body attack them. Better yet, the function of the sperm is to reach another cell, in the nature of the woman's ovulation, and to integrate with it to form the embryo. This same principle is applied in the treatment of cancer, making sperm cells vector ideal for carrying chemotherapy drugs to cancer cells directly in cases of cervical, ovarian and uterine cancers.
Moreover, cancer cells have a special ability to absorb any substance injected
 Which opens the door for use to carry other things as well
Such as substances that help doctors conduct imaging tests, or genes that can treat genetic diseases and other diseases



How will the shell be disposed of? Of course, there is still a lot of work to do before this system of delivery of drugs to diseased cells becomes reality. The experiments of the German team were conducted only in the laboratory, under controlled conditions, using sperm from cattle and experiments
The results of the experiments have not yet been published in a scientific journal, and it remains to be seen how the body will get rid of the metal shell that will remain inside after the sperm task
With our wishes for speedy recovery
