One of the problems with existing cancer treatment is that it can cause long term damage to certain parts of the body, especially the lungs. Small sacks called vesicles may help to protect the lungs from cancer treatment.
One type called exosomes may be good at this as they can help carry treatments to the right areas in the body that need treating and may stop healthy cells from being damaged. Cells from lungs will be tested in the lab with cancer drugs with and without the exosomes to see if these protect them.
