Researchers from Finland and the USA, have developed two multistage nanovaccines constructed of two biomaterials and either a biological cancer cell membrane (CCM) or a model antigen
Cancer Immunotherapy and Nanotechnology: Taking the Best from Two Worlds
Researchers are applying nanotechnology to cancer immunotherapy toward the development of nanocarriers for delivery of cancer vaccines and chemo-immunotherapies.
Fruit & Veg Combat Prostate Cancer
Consumption of both fruit and vegetables shows a higher 15-year overall survival probability in prostate cancer patients than those with lower intakes.
Ruthenium-Containing Polymetallodrug for Anticancer Treatment
A polymetallodrug that overcomes the side effects of conventional anticancer phototherapy has been synthesized.
A new route for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
Intraperitoneally administered biointerface-camouflaged upconversion nanoparticles can pave the way for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer through multimodal contrast enhanced imaging.
Multifunctional Theranostic Agent for Multimodal Imaging Guided Photothermal Cancer Therapy
At Soochow University they have successfully prepared ultrasmall anionic-deficient WO3-x nanotheranostic probes
Capturing Circulating Cancer Cells
Nanogels were developed as magnetic capturing devices for circulating tumor cells and applied in the magnetic separation of human cancer cells from a mixed cell suspension.
Could Polymers Replace Tissue Damaged by Breast Cancer?
Researchers synthesized a copolymer scaffold from Polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly-D, L-lactic acid (PDLLA) for potential breast tissue engineering.
Combination of immunotherapy and nanotechnology for improved cancer treatment
Researchers have proposed a new idea to deliver anti-cancer drugs to tumor sites by combining immunotherapy and nanoparticles.
