THE CHALLENGE: PILLancer
Building innovative remedies for strong diseases like cancer. A remedy is PILLancer.
WHATIS PILLancer?
PROBLEM:
Accordingto the American Cancer Society in its annual report, announced thatevery day 20,000 people died of cancer every year or about 7.6million deaths. Canceris a plague of our time. If we could kill only the cancerous cellspermitting healthy bordering cells surviving perhaps we could solve aburning issue.
SOLUTION:
Based on that mechanism, we are aiming to createinnovative remedies against the cancer, just like PILLancer.
Bydeveloping a pill which travels via peptic tract, it detects andtraps neoplasmatic cells and like the spider's mechanism encirclesher victims.
So that, PILLacer prevents perfusion and provokeshypoxia in this region, which results to tumorous cells' necrosis.
After their necrosis, they can be phagocytosed from blood cells
and is now free of cancer cells.
