Using magnetically controlled nanoparticles to force tumor cells to 'self-destruct' sounds like science fiction, but could be a future part of cancer treatment, according to research. "The clever ...

Some cancer cells hide from the immune system by tricking checkpoints on T cells. They imitate healthy cells by producing proteins called PD-L1, which bind to the off switch and let tumors hide in ...

That turns the nanoparticles into guided missiles that target only cancer cells. The nanoparticles must also pass through the blood-brain barrier, an important factor in brain cancer treatment.

A new technique lets researchers make many more of the particles much faster, using consistent practices that meet safety ...

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 24, 2022 — University of Pittsburgh researchers have designed cancer-fighting nanoparticles that co-deliver a chemotherapy drug and a novel immunotherapy, according to a new ...

The researchers say that they would now like to be able to produce their biomimetic nanoparticles in larger quantities for future clinical trials. They also plan to add a targeting molecule to the red ...

As a result, these nanoparticles are more likely to bump into cancer cells and bind their TRAIL receptors. Leukocytes are WBCs and liposomes are nanoparticles. King/PNAS ...

The University of Maryland Baltimore County and collaborators demonstrate for the first time a technique for biosynthesizing plasmonic gold nanoparticles within cancer cells, without the need for ...

The ligands on the surface of the nanoparticles fit into the cell receptors, allowing encapsulated drug molecules to enter the tumor cell after binding. Nanoparticles and other nanostructures appear ...

Bioadhesive nanoparticles (white) stick to skin cancer cells in a lab dish Julia Lewis Researchers at Yale University have shown how skin cancer could one day be treated with a simple injection.

Google is developing nanoparticles that the company hopes will catch early signs of diseases such as cancer, but are there potential drawbacks to the technology?

University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have developed nanoparticles that, in the lab, can activate immune responses to cancer cells. If they are shown to work as well in the body as they do ...
