AI Summary
Researchers have developed a novel bone cancer therapy by combining bioactive glasses with gallium. Lab tests have shown a 99% success rate in eliminating cancerous cells and promoting bone regeneration. This innovative approach could potentially offer a highly effective treatment option for bone cancer patients.
Bioactive glasses, a filling material which can bond to tissue and improve the strength of bones and teeth, has been combined with gallium to create a potential treatment for bone cancer. Tests in labs have found that bioactive glasses doped with the metal have a 99 percent success rate of eliminating cancerous cells and can even regenerate diseased bones.
