Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Explore LENN nanoparticles, a groundbreaking technology for delivering mRNA therapies to bladder cancer cells with enhanced ...

Researchers have developed a magnetic nanomaterial that can kill bone cancer cells and support bone regeneration at the same time. The material heats up under a magnetic field to destroy tumors, while ...

Spherical and star-shaped gold nanoparticles (top) and colon cancer cells after approx. five hours of exposure to them (bottom, respectively). The photo in the bottom left corner proves that, despite ...

Published, peer-reviewed research shows a patent-pending, virus-mimicking platform technology developed at Purdue University ...

As part of the first-in-human trial, participants received more than 15 times the standard dose of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin every 21 days for up to one year. “Usually, a patient can only ...

A new perspective describes engineered nanoparticles that target and degrade disease-causing proteins, opening new ways to treat dementia, brain cancer, and other conditions.

Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early. To help achieve that goal, MIT and Microsoft researchers ...

Traditionally, radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery have been the most common ways to remove and destroy malignant cells. However, because these treatments can also damage healthy cells, they often ...

A new approach for cancer treatment involves the use of microalgal-derived nanoparticles. A recent review in Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology examines their potential as a sustainable and ...

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most challenging tumors to treat, partly because it is often discovered at advanced stages when the disease has already spread, or metastasized. About half of ...
