medicine

 

Researchers at the Department of Bioengineering, School of Engineering, National University of Singapore have developed a new technology that can convert infrared light into ultraviolet light and visible light through silica nanoparticles, paving the way for non-invasive treatment of deep tumors. It is said that this technology can inhibit tumor growth and control its gene expression, and is the world's first non-invasive photodynamic therapy using nanoparticles to treat deep tumors.
