Scientists have demonstrated a new potential treatment for bone cancer. A bioactive glass laced with a toxic metal was able to kill up to 99% of the cancer without harming healthy cells, and could even help regrow healthy bone after.

Lab tests have found that bioactive glasses doped with the gallium have a 99% success rate of eliminating cancerous cells and can even regenerate diseased bones. Highly toxic gall

In laboratory tests, bioactive glasses doped with gallium oxide killed more than 99% of osteosarcoma cells, while leaving healthy human osteoblasts unharmed. This could one day form the basis of new bone cancer treatments,
