A New Drug Coated Carbon Nano Tubes for Cleaning Arteries

A New Drug Coated Carbon Nano Tubes for Cleaning Arteries

Arterial Sclerosis is a common problem in all of us. There are many reasons for this from diet to hereditary reasons. An example, your father died of a heart attack at a certain age. Now when you get close to that same age, you become concerned that the same hereditary factors may apply to you as well.

What this new technology can do, is to clean away the build-up of plaque in one’s arteries.

This is such a common disease, that’s why doctors have been looking for a long time for a better method to treat for this disease.

A New Technology Looks Promising

There is currently a new technology that’s currently being researched for the treatment of Arterial Sclerosis. This is new treatment is called is Drug-Coated Carbon Nanotubes. The way this works is the nano-tubes are used to deliver the coded drug that eats up the plaque in the arteries.

The problem that researchers have encountered in the past is getting through the body’s defense system, a system that the body has which normally destroys anything, not from the body itself. This new Drug-Coated Nano Tubes need to get in to do their work.

The new Nano Tubes can get through since they are so small to avoid the system. The body does this because some things although not pleasant to look at may actually be helping you to stay alive.

Since these nano-tubes are so small they can get through to this SHP1i molecule and turn off that signal.

This is breakthrough technology and not yet available for regular use,; however, it looks very promising.
