A further medical use of nanoscale devices is for targeting cancer cells. In this application the nanocapsule contains molecules lethal to tumors. The nanodevice is linked to a molecule that has a specific affinity for the receptors on the surfaces of cancer cells. Once at the site of the cancer, the nanocapsule dumps its lethal contents into the cancer cell. One method for releasing the contents of the nanocapsule is through a tiny valve developed at UCLA by Jeffrey I. Zink and his coworkers. The valves consist of dumbbell-like molecules that can be rotated by the energy from a single electron.
