Cancer-fighting particle packs drugs in a glass bubble core

Getting cancer drugs to the right place in the right quantities is a perpetual problem for medical scientists, but a group from University of California, Los Angeles has put forward a promising new technology in this space. The team has demonstrated a new type of nanoparticle system that securely carries one type of cancer-fighting drug inside a hollow glass core, while a second drug can be woven through its exterior to deliver a potent one-two punch.
