'Sticky' Particles Promise More Precise Drug Delivery For Brain Cancer, Yale Study
A Yale research team has found that by tinkering with the surface properties of drug-loaded nanoparticles, they can potentially direct these particles to specific cells in the brain.
By making nanoparticles bioadhesive, or "sticky," the researchers have answered a long-standing question: Once you get the particles to the brain, how do you get them to interact with the cancer cells there? Their findings are published May 19 in Nature Communications.
