Nanotubes jarred by lasers could wipe out stubborn breast cancer cells
First, inject breast cancer tumors with microscopic, multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Your specific target: the breast cancer stem cells inside that spawn the tumors in the first place. Then, train a
Report: China ramping up for global drug delivery tech battle
China is on the rise in the drug delivery technology sector and becoming an increasingly nimble competitor in the space, Lux Research asserts in a new report. And it's going global. Lux cites two
Nanoparticles hijack immune response
In Europe, vaccines typically use adjuvants to stimulate a better reaction, but these are designed to trigger an immune response at the site where the shot is injected. A team of researchers at Duke...
Next-gen nanoparticles deliver cancer drugs at just the right moment
Nanoparticles often deliver cancer drugs prematurely, releasing their cargo at the slightest trigger, missing their target. Researchers concocted a new version that appears able to last longer,...
