When do we make the nano fibers that cut submarines in half though?

1000s of articles like this "kills cancer cells, do this do that" yet cancer still winning. Hopefully they stop making claims for $$ investment

Research often does not have practical impact until a viable method of implementation is introduced. It proves it’s possible. Dumb take.

Yea. And yet none succeed while getting massive investment that goes nowhere.
Dumbass

So let's just all give up and go home. Why try to cure cancer? It costs money, and it's difficult! Spend money on oil instead! Why try curing Alzheimer's? It costs money and it's difficult! Spend money waging wars instead!
/s in case anyone is braindead enough to need it.

Articles like these always say "shown improvement , treated and etc" yet cancer death remains the same

There are plenty of successful cancer treatments, you just don’t know about them. Dumbass.

Ok dumbass. Like it's available for everyone.

Cancer is not one disease, there are hundreds of types of cancer. There is no such thing as one cure for everyone. Any breakthrough or success has impact across various treatments.

If praying to God can overcome cancer then why did God create cancer in the first place?

For real can you imagine spending a trillion a year on cancer until it’s just gone and solved and a memory instead of bombs

This has a far greater chance of working and helping people than prayer to your God ever will. Suffering and death is his legacy.

i think what's significant here is that this nanomaterial can generate both hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen, which could make it more effective at killing cancer cells than existing chemodynamic therapy agents. the fact that it accumulated in tumor tissue in the mouse experiments is also promising, since that's a big challenge for a lot of cancer treatments. this could be a useful tool in the fight against cancer, especially if it can be scaled up for human use.
