I post something about it earlier. It is basically a special coating that will "melt away" when encounter a highly acidic cells and release its medicine. It is a cool concept, but if cancer is cured what will all those cancer specialist to do? (not to mention the medicine)
More credible source, free of big-pharma-is-trying-to-kill-us slant: http://www.dca.med.ualberta.ca/Home/Updates/2010-05-12_Update.cfm
Move on to discovering treatments and cures for virii. It would be nice if E-Strain didn't completely wipe out Thailand in the next half-century.
No, this is something different (if memory serves). This article is talking about a drug that works by inducing cell death in tumors. The article you posted talked about a new delivery system for cancer drugs.

Ah. so bottom line, no profit, no research
I don't think that's really the case. This is a pretty extraordinary claim, and the information was published about a year ago. So it might take time to verify it as being a cheap, highly effective cure for cancer. Other universities and labs may be testing this to see if it's replicable...

The media runs with things before all the sciency-bits have been finished. There's no profit-based conspiracy keeping us from curing cancer. What there probably is, is a lot of work yet to be done.
