Trojan horse nanoparticle takes a drug-free approach to killing cancer

With cancer so often presenting as a cunning enemy, scientists are working hard to develop therapies that can slip through its array of crafty defenses. These types of “Trojan horse” approaches use all kinds of trickery to sneak drugs into cancer cells to kill them off, but a team from Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is putting forward another solution, demonstrating how a new drug-free nanoparticle can do all the heavy lifting on its own.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Nanyang Technological University, Cancer, Nanoparticles
