MIT's wireless nanoantennas kill brain cancer cells, 5x more effective than chemo
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-09-10
MIT researchers developed 150 nm injectable nanoantennas that can be activated wirelessly through the skull to generate highly localized electric fields, selectively killing drug-resistant glioblastoma cells without harming healthy tissue.
- In lab tests the treatment destroyed 52.2% of patient-derived cancer cells — over 5x the effect of standard chemotherapy — while sparing healthy neurons
- In mice, it strongly suppressed tumor growth, extended median survival by more than 50%, and showed no detectable major organ toxicity
