New microfluidic device offers means for studying electric field cancer therapy

Tuesday, July 5, 2016 - 12:01 in Health & Medicine

Researchers at MIT’s research center in Singapore have developed a new microfluidic device that tests the effects of electric fields on cancer cells. They observed that a range of low-intensity, middle-frequency electric fields effectively stopped breast and lung cancer cells from growing and spreading, while having no adverse effect on neighboring healthy cells. The device, […]
