"In a development reminiscent of the science-fiction film, 'Fantastic Voyage', two researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) said they've developed a microscopic 'nano-vehicle' that exactly targets chemotherapy treatments at cancerous cells without damaging healthy cells nearby.
Dr. Dan Peer and Prof. Rimona Margalit are behind the tiny, but real-life development that could harbor big returns in efficiently killing cancerous cells without the common side-effects of a severely-weakened immune system, namely nausea, weakness and hair loss.
In the 1966 film, a team of doctors and a submarine were miniaturized to microscopic scale and injected into the bloodstream of a patient to repair a life-threatening blood clot."
