New method for delivering DNA into stem cells and immune cells safely, rapidly and economically
Nanoparticle-based thermal treatment cures intestinal cancer in mice
Scientists presented the test results of an innovative oncotherapy technology based on hyperthermia—heating nanoparticles that have been introduced into a tumour to kill it. A drug based on cobalt ferrite nanoparticles cured 100% of the mice with intestinal cancer from the experimental group
Protecting DNA origami for anti-cancer drug delivery
Scientists designed a tunable peptide-like molecular coating that enables 3-D DNA nanostructures to maintain their structural integrity and functionality in different physiological environments relevant to drug delivery and other biomedical applications

Zinc-loaded particles might have the potential to fight breast cancer
Nanofibers split up in the body to deliver drugs
Biocompatible drug-carrying nanofiber that splits into tiny nanoparticles once inside the body could offer a new strategy for anticancer therapy
Stem cells and nerves interact in tissue regeneration and cancer progression
Researchers show that different stem cell populations are innervated in distinct ways. Innervation may therefore be crucial for proper tissue regeneration. They also demonstrate that cancer stem cells likewise establish contacts with nerves. Targeting tumor innervation could thus lead to new cancer therapies
Nanoparticles target the most dangerous prostate tumours
Nanoparticle-based contrast agents could both image and attack the nerve networks that make some prostate cancers especially aggressive
