Why IISc’s novel method holds promise for oral cancer treatment
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and MS Ramaiah Medical College developed a novel ultrasound stimulation method to treat oral cancer, which is a major health issue in India. The study revealed that oral cancer cells are particularly vulnerable to Low Frequency Ultrasound (LFU) mechanostimulation, potentially enhancing treatment efficacy. This breakthrough, published in the journal Materials Today Bio, could lead to improved therapeutic strategies for patients suffering from this disease.
