INDUCING INTERNAL APOPTOSIS IN MALIGNANT TUMORS BY POSITIVE ELECTROSTATIC CHARGES

ABSTRACT

A method for tumor suppression is disclosed. The method includes preparing a chip by forming a layer of electrically conductive nanostructures on a substrate, placing the chip adjacent to a cancerous tumor, positively charging the layer of electrically conductive nanostructures by applying a positive electrostatic voltage on the chip, and reducing size of the cancerous tumor by electrostatically stimulating can cer cells of the cancerous tumor responsive to accumulating positive charges on the layer of electrically conductive nanostructures.
