Cheng and Park Research Offers Potential New Pathway for Nanomedical Cancer Treatment
Researchers at Purdue University have discovered a possible new pathway for anti-tumor drugs to kill cancer cells and proposed how to improve the design of tiny drug-delivery particles for use in "nanomedicine."
The research, being presented in the journals Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Langmuir, details how advanced imaging technology has allowed researchers to see for the first time how the polyethylene glycol shell of "polymer micelle" drug delivery spheres latch onto the membranes of cancer cells. University News Service has has the story.
