NanoParticles That Kill!

Just yesterday, In Bristol, United Kingdom, it was revealed that Nanoparticles can cause tremendous damage to the cells of the human body. The Nanoparticles literally start to obliterate/ vaporise the cells.

A test was done where a 30 nano-meter wide section of surgical cobalt chromium was placed next to "BeWo" human cancer cells (laboratory cells with almost an equivalent compostion of the ordinary human cell).


What happened next?
After just a day it was noticed that, there was a great deal of damage to the fibroblasts within those cells. The damage included single and double strand breaks of th DNA, and strangely there was an abnormal doubling in some of the chromosomes. Therefore basically making it a mutated cell.

Although, the Nanoparticles only affected the first layer of cells, it is clear that they can cause damage, and tremendous damage as read above. The Nanoparticles attacked the cells as follows: First they attacked the mitochondrion of the cells, and therefore wiping out it's source of energy and releasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which travelled through the cell layers and over a short period of time did damage to the fibroblasts and DNA of the cells.

Now as the reader you must know that if a tiny section of surgical cobalt chromium can cause damage to the cells like this, imaging what the enormous sections of this specific alloy, can do to your body when the medical team places it into your body as a hip replacement or even just a screw in your broken arm.

I will leave you to think about that, now please feel free to comment and ask questions...
