Imprinted spheres fight breast cancer: Inhibition of HER2 on tumor cells by molecularly imprinted nanoparticles

ScienceDaily   -   General News Websites

A particularly aggressive, metastasizing form of cancer, HER2-positive breast cancer, may be treated with nanoscopic particles ''imprinted'' with specific binding sites for the receptor molecule HER2. The selective binding of t...
