Drug-Filled Particles Could Diagnose and Treat Cancer, Karolinska Institute, Royal Institute of Technology, and Chalmers University of Technology Study
Tiny particles filled with a drug could be a new tool for treating cancer in the future, claim researchers in Sweden. A new study published in Particle & Particle Systems Characterization shows how such nanoparticles can be combined to secure the effective delivery of cancer drugs to tumour cells, and how they can be given properties to make them visible in MR scanners.
