Scientists from the Tomsk Polytechnic University's Laboratory of Novel Dosage are developing a technology to control mesenchymal stem cells of patients and allow more effective cancer treatment. To fight cancer, the scientists suggest controlling the patient's own cells with magnets, since native cells won't be rejected by the immune system and can deliver medication directly into the center of the disease.
