MadSci Network: Medicine |
Hi, I searched the archives and couldn't find anything about this. I'm sorry if this question has been asked already. I was just reading some material on chelating agents that can trap metal ions from water. I was wondering if this principle can be applied to medicine/drugs. Could we somehow combine a certain drug with a metal, inject it into a blood stream, and use magnets outside the body to guide the drugs to a specific area of interest? On second thought I'm not sure if you'll want to inject metals into the body, but is this idea feasible? Thanks for your time
