Abstract:
Bioelectric potential and frequency parameters, unlike temperature and pH are not affected by environmental factors. Independence of these parameters and their dependence on cellular interactions eliminates interfering factors and increases the accuracy of direct drug delivery. To the best of our knowledge, both parameters of bioelectric potential and the frequency which is produced from cellular activity have not been used as a target for targeted drug delivery. Based on the available evidence, we propose that the frequency and bioelectricity from normal cells with tumor cells and tumors together demonstrate a good level of distinction in order to target proposed cell for drug delivery. Applying this feature as a means of distinguishing between normal and tumor cells and utilizing nanotechnology in the design and production of nano-carriers based on sensitivity to frequency or bioelectric potential and adjustable as alternatives for temperature and pH in purpose of targeted drug delivery with the maximum level of efficiency. Our proposed method of frequency/bioelectric potential-based drug delivery can significantly reduce damages and medication side effects to normal cell by improving drug delivery to tumor cells. It can be an important development in the prevention of expanding tumor cells and enhancement treatment of cancer.

Electron Carriers
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...
Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
