Drug Loaded Nanoparticles Specific for Cancer Cells
February 16, 2021 | Terry Sharrer
Ludwig Maximilian University (Munich) “researchers developed new nanoparticles that only release their drugs inside cancer cells. The particles are amorphous, porous, and encapsulated in a lipid layer. All together, that means they’re easily taken up by cells without triggering an immune response. Once inside, the lipid layer breaks down, releasing the drug payload that consists of calcium and citrate. Previous studies have shown that these compounds kill cells when delivered directly into them.” MORE
