Scientists made a tiny carrier using graphene oxide and a special polymer that can hold the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel better and release it faster in acidic environments, like tumors. The carrier itself is not toxic to cells, and when loaded with the drug it kills cancer cells just as well as the drug alone. However, this is a lab‑scale cancer‑treatment technology, not something you can use at home for health or performance improvement.
