Whole stem cells (top left) are drained of their contents (the process is depicted in the direction of the arrow), reduced in the laboratory to nanometer size (nanometer ghosts), and loaded with nucleic acids (in blue). Those nano-ghosts are injected into the patient and through the blood vessels (in red) they reach the tumor (in green) specifically, and only there they unload their cargo, leading to the creation of the anti-cancer drug.
