nanoparticles

MIT researchers have developed a new way to fight glioblastoma brain cancer and it utilizes nanoparticles to deliver two different drugs to the tumor. The researchers have used the nanoparticles in mice and found that it crosses the blood-brain barrier with ease and delivers the drugs directly...

Scientists from the University of Surrey have developed 'intelligent' nanoparticles which heat up to a temperature high enough to kill cancerous cells - but which then self-regulate and lose heat before they get hot enough to harm healthy tissue. These particles self-regulate their temperature...
