Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Inhalable and thermo-responsive, fat-encased nanoparticles have been developed by researchers at the University of Sydney as possible treatment for lung cancer. The team has recently designed inhalable, targetable particles that can attack tumours but leave healthy cells undamaged, reducing the side effects of cancer treatment. The particles consist of a drug encased in a lipid ‘fat’ that can be activated ... Read More »
