Bio Engineering Carbon Nanotubes to fight Heart Attacks

Researchers build carbon nanotubes with a molecule attached. That helps the body to clean up plaque in its blood vessels, which cause strokes and heart failure.

PAPER - Pro-efferocytic nanoparticles are specifically taken up by lesional macrophages and prevent atherosclerosis:

As a 60 year old heart patient this is very interesting!

[Stephenzaffarano]

I read that it could also have an application in attacking cancer cells. Love this !! Thanks for the information!

Cool update, devs! When will this patch be released?

Prevention is 100% better than cure, I am 62, raced cycles and other cardiovascular based exercises all my life, eaten a balanced diet, stayed slim, don't smoke or drink alcohol. I recently had a carotid artery ultrasound scan as part of the UK bio bank study. They found thin artery walls and no arthoschlerosis whatsoever.

I've been hearing this for about 5 years. You will not see this technology used for many years, because heart medication is a big seller for the pharmaceutical industry. We know that finding cures is not good for their bottom line. All the exciting things that we read about medical breakthroughs are for naught for that reason.

[terrancemoore]

Thanks brother! I hope they will submit this for emergency use authorization here in the US, but given it will cure someone of heart disease, they will probably just bury it as they make a lot of money treating people with heart disease. I will probably have to go overseas to get treated.

[patvandestraat]

interesting research. Thanks for that.
another interesting comparison would be the introduction of fasting into the protocol...
Placebo vs SWCNT vs FASTING vs FASTING + SWCNT

[JamesRendek]

Yeah, I'll be pushing up daisies.

One question: why dont we have two hearts? We have two lungs two kidneys two brain hemispheres, heck even the liver as one of the most important organs can regenerate. We would just need another heart, then we could controle the bloodflow better

[ayushupadhyay]

hey i am a microbiologist. Can i work with you on this channel ?

[TheCounsellor]

Is there a company associated with this? Where are they in moving to human trials?

[zafar]

This is completely misleading. It is oxidized LDL that accumulates but then there are fibroblasts and solid hard calcium.Finally, the plaque ruptures attracting the platelets. So there is no place for the macrophages to work,

[markbanash]

Good luck. Look up research by Guenter Oberdoerster of the U. of Rochester.

[murarirajagopalan]

Good news indeed, am curious about your accent?
