Light-activated nanoparticles rob cancer cells of essential proteins

Posted on by

Loading up tiny particles with cancer-killing agents and sending them into the human body has emerged as a highly-targeted form of potential treatment for the disease. A new study out of Pennsylvania State University has offered up another exciting pos… Continue reading Light-activated nanoparticles rob cancer cells of essential proteins→

Charged particles kill cancer by clogging up its waste disposal unit

Posted on by

There are many tools cancer relies on to survive and thrive, and therefore many possibilities when it comes to thwarting its advances. One such avenue centers on cellular garbage disposal units known as lysosomes, which are particularly vulnerable in c… Continue reading Charged particles kill cancer by clogging up its waste disposal unit→
