The problem here is going to be getting the nanoparticles to bind to cancer cells only, which is a pretty big obstacle. They've been trying for years to target chemo drugs and it hasn't really worked out.
In the video, one of the scientists mentioned attaching proteins to the nanoparticles that would somehow only bond with cancer cells. He didn't really elaborate.
This would be amazing. Only, I feel bad for the people that have cancer in the next 4 years, before they start human testing. Because they'll know that a cure is on the horizon (hopefully) and they won't be able to receive that treatment.
