Multi-functional, modular nanoparticles could help fight cancer
New cancer-fighting nanoparticles developed at U of T Engineering carry out multiple functions to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy ones alone. They consist of a gold nanorod core (yellow, at left) surrounded by smaller gold spheres and linked via strands of DNA containing anti-cancer drug (red). The spheres are coated with a polymer film […]
