Cancer is a modern day scourge that has become so common, that the shock of it is no longer that huge compared to many years ago, despite the fact that it is no less deadly. While medical advances has been made in terms of treating cancer, there is no 100% cure, as a relapse cannot be predicted. Still, there is a war to be fought, and MIT scientists might have an ace up their sleeves in the form of tiny, sponge-like spheres which are touted to be more efficient in their job of delivering RNA interference-based treatments to cancer patients. These tiny spheres can also be used to treat other diseases instead of just cancer.
