NIR-Activated Nanoparticle Therapy Suppresses Tumors

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A nanoparticle drug-delivery system that combines photodynamic and molecular therapies has been shown to suppress tumor progress and metastatic outgrowth in animal models. The complementary treatment could improve outcomes and mitigate toxicity for patients with pancreatic cancer and other treatment-resistant tumors. 3D rendering of a photoactivable multi-inhibitor nanolipsome encapsulating a nanoparticle from a cryoelectron microscopy tomogram.

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
