Shed a Light in the Darkness: Technology against Cancer

Far from the time when a simple candle light illuminated an optical microscope in an attempt to remove the veil of the unknown and fascinating world of biological phenomena, we now live in a world where stupendous research facilities are able to really shed some light through the world of functioning of life. Although the great discoveries have been carried out in the 50 ́s, with the solution of the DNA model, and the first protein (myoglobin) and enzyme (lysozyme) structures have been solved in the 60 ́s, thanks to the advent of these facilities, synchrotron radiation and neutron (reactors and spallation sources) laboratories, a huge input in the life science has allowed the scientists to reveal the mysterious of biochemical and biophysical processes of nature.
