Breakthrough Research: Using Electric Pulses to Fight Cancer

The video discusses global efforts to find effective cancer treatments, highlighting research from Southampton University. This research explores using short electric pulses to kill cancer cells by causing ion leakage, leading to apoptosis. Although practical applications are years away, this work is crucial in advancing cancer treatment.

How are cancer cells affected by bursts of electricity as demonstrated in the presentation?

What is the expected timeline for practical applications of the electric pulse technique in cancer treatment?
