In a major medical breakthrough scientists of Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine at Kochi s Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences have succeeded in turning nanoparticles of calcium phosphate a biomineral naturally found in human bones into fully biodegradable radio frequency (RF) agents and made them imageable by MRI and CT scans. This has paved the way for safer cheaper diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The project has been funded by the Dept. of Biotechnology Govt. of India. Dr Shanti Nair Director Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences Kochi says The development of calcium phosphate
