Title: Nano Cancer Barrier Device (NCBD) to Immobilize and Inhibit the Division of Metastic Cancer Stem Cells
Usefulness: Nano Cancer Barrier Device (NCBD) to Immobilize and Inhibit the Division of Metastic Cancer Stem Cells
Summary: The methods are useful for: inducing the cell to go into stasis; inhibiting metastasis of a cancer cell; treating cancer; inhibiting bleeding during and after a surgical procedure; and marking the margins of a tumor (all claimed). Test details are described but no results given.
Novelty: Inducing cell (e.g. prostate cancer stem cell) to go into stasis, useful to treat cancer, comprises contacting exterior of the cell with a nanomaterial, which is a self-assembling peptide
