CANCER RESEARCH
Photo essay from hospital. Medical Imaging Laboratory. Research at Necker Medical School in Paris, France and the Center for Magnetic Resonance at Bicêtre Hospital, in the French region of Ile-de-France. Verification of an MRI technique to direct paramagnetic liposomes towards a tumor, using a magnet. Once fixed, the artificially engineered waxy capsules are heated by magnetic fields, selectively releasing cancer-killing drugs. Here, human tumor implanted into the right flank of nude mouse (this type of mouse is immuno-deficient, facilitating growth of human tumors).
