BREAKING
Al Mayadeen correspondent: The US vetoed a UNSC resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, arguing it does not condemn Hamas nor grant "Israel" the right to “self-defense.”
Israeli occupation forces issue a new bombing threat against civilian buildings in the Southern Lebanese towns of Borj Qalaouiye and Chehabiyeh.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Extending the snapback mechanism deadline will test how independent Europeans truly are from the US.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Activating the snapback mechanism will nullify the Cairo Agreement, shut the door on cooperation between the IAEA and Tehran, and bar inspections.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: The diplomatic window remains open, but signs of activating the snapback sanctions mechanism on Iran are increasing.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Although the Cairo Agreement meets an important part of European demands, they have begun speaking of new conditions in recent communications.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: European countries show no independence in their stance toward Iran during the talks.
Israeli occupation forces issued bombing threats to bomb civilian buildings in Southern Lebanon.
Israeli media: Person behind shooting operation at Allenby Crossing is a Jordanian Army soldier.
Israeli media citing Emergency Services: Both wounded in Allenby shooting operation now dead.

Russian scientists harness nanoparticles for precise tumor therapy

In a revolutionary cancer treatment, Russian scientists introduce a pioneering approach that employs nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery while minimizing damage to healthy tissues.

A groundbreaking cancer treatment approach has been developed by Russian scientists from the National Research Technological University (NITU) MISiS and the Nikolay Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University.

Their method involves using nanoparticles, incredibly small particles ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size, to encapsulate active pharmaceutical ingredients for the purpose of delivering them directly to tumors. By carefully controlling the release of medication, these nanoparticles ensure that only the tumor cells are affected, sparing the surrounding healthy tissues from harm.

To enhance the precision of drug delivery, the researchers have harnessed the magnetic properties of these nanoparticles. By manipulating magnetic fields, they can guide the nanoparticles to the specific location of the tumor.

This innovative technology holds the potential to create a highly accurate "high-precision weapon" against malignant tumors, functioning autonomously based on the "fire and forget" principle. Once administered, the nanoparticles can independently navigate toward the tumor and administer the medication, eliminating the need for further intervention.

According to Timur Nizamov, a junior researcher at the Laboratory of Multifunctional Magnetic Nanomaterials, the magnetic properties of such nanoparticles is what gives them the ability to be directly delivered to the tumor zone by controlling magnetic fields.

In the future, according to Nizamov, the development of such technology will make it possible to create what he referred to as a "high-precision weapon" against malignant tumors, operating on the "fire and forget" principle.
