Green Tea Used as Control Trigger for Activating Cell Therapies Remotely
Green Tea Used as Control Trigger for Activating Cell Therapies Remotely "A team of researchers with East China Normal University and First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University has found that it is possible to use green tea as a control mechanism for activating cell therapies remotely. In their paper published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the group describes testing the use of green tea as a control mechanism and how well it worked. As part of efforts to develop new treatments, medical scientists have been looking into cell-based therapies—but a means for delivering a given therapy to a targeted cell or group of cells must be available. One such technique under study is the use of remote-control systems in which a drug triggers the release of a therapeutic agent when it reaches its destination in the body.
