Abstract
A reactive oxygen species-mediated targeting system has been used to selectively kill cancer cells. Two different cell lines, normal and cancer cells, have been cultured and treated with a peroxide olive oil (K600) in simple solution and in form of nanoemulsion (N-K600). Preliminary results of both treatments have been compared.
