Abstract:One of the most challenging tasks in modern medicine is to find novel efficient cancer therapeutic methods with minimal side effects. The recent discovery of several classes of organic molecules known as "molecular jackhammers" is a promising development in this direction. It is known that these molecules can directly target and eliminate cancer cells with no impact on healthy tissues. However, the underlying microscopic picture remains poorly understood. We present a study that utilizes theoretical analysis t… Show more
