This is a very interesting article about amino acid and how it reacts with brain cancer cells. The amino acid makes the brain cells glow up, which makes it easier to track the cells and see where it will grow to. The amino acid makes it glow up by feeding the cells with nutrients that don't make them grow, but create a high uptake which shows up in the brain scan. This is really amazing to me because I find the brain completely mind-blowing (no pun intended), and I think that any science that helps us treat terminally ill people is a beautiful thing. Overall, I found this brief article full of amazing information and it just makes me think how far we have come and how far we need to go with cancer science.
