Markers and Targeting
System Overview
Sensing
- find site to attach marker to on cancerous cells in metastasis
- marker should be a beacon for attack cells
- should make cancerous cells detectable in body
- stain lipid bilayer, measure decrease in staining? does this work in the body?
- basement membrane, keeps epithelial cells attached, breaking the layer allows movement, cancerous development?
- does metastasis happen slowly with a few individual cells, or a massive outbreak?
- prevent cells from breaking bonds to basement membrane, inhibit movement?
- break up tumors and remove pieces?
Tracking
- engineer attack cells to move towards marker
- marker causes release of certain chemicals, certain structural changes, membrane receptors?
- attack cells can bind to structure/receptor or detect chemical diffusion
- attack cells find cancerous cells
Killing
- asef
- kill tumor or prevent from undergoing metastasis?
- kill individual cancerous cells in metastasis within the body?
- prevent cancerous cells in metastasis from binding to other organs?
