5/ Como indica la investigadora y #BecariasFundlaCaixa @laiajosacullere.bsky.social, el uso de la luz permite: ✅ Focalizar la acción del fármaco directamente en el tumor ✅ Aumentar la eficacia del tratamiento ✅ Reducir los efectos secundarios en tejidos sanos.

1/ 💡 La luz y el color tienen todo que ver en esta oscura #InstantáneasdelMes. Muestra unos cúmulos de células tumorales resistentes que evocan los “noirs” de Odilon Redon, pero que la ciencia logra iluminar para activar un innovador tratamiento contra el cáncer. 🧵👇 tinyurl.com/3a7f5u6f
