➀ MIT researchers develop a manufacturing technique for mass-producing polymer-coated nanoparticles for cancer drug delivery; ➁ The new method allows for larger quantities of nanoparticles to be produced in less time; ➂ The technology has potential applications in clinical trials and commercialization, initially focusing on abdominal cancers.
Recent #cancer treatment news in the semiconductor industry
➀ Researchers from the University of Queensland are developing novel nanoparticles to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapies for treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC);
➁ TNBC is an aggressive form of breast cancer with high mortality rates;
➂ The nanoparticles are designed to boost the immune response of TNBC patients to treatments, potentially leading to improved efficacy of immunotherapy.
➀ Researchers from JAIST have developed magnetic nanoparticles that can be directed to tumors and heated with a laser to destroy cancer cells, offering a more accurate and less harmful alternative to traditional treatments;
➁ The team used biocompatible carbon nanohorns as the photothermal agents and coated them with magnetic ionic liquid for tumor targeting;
➂ The nanoparticles demonstrated a high photothermal conversion efficiency and successfully eradicated tumors in mouse models after laser treatment.
➀ Researchers from KIT and DKFZ are developing a new technology that uses compact electron accelerators to directly irradiate tumors within the body.
➁ The project, named UCART, aims to reduce the size of electron accelerators by over 1000 times, making them as small as a millimeter, which can be introduced into the body via an endoscope.
➂ This new approach could potentially make radiation therapy more accessible worldwide and reduce damage to healthy tissue during treatment.
1. Researchers developed new bimetallic nano-complexes targeting specific cancer proteins; 2. The complexes were synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques; 3. In vitro assays showed significant cytotoxic effects against breast and liver cancer cell lines.
1. Researchers from the University of California San Diego have developed microrobots capable of navigating through lung tissue to deliver targeted cancer drugs. 2. These microrobots, constructed by bonding drug-filled nanoparticles to algae cells, have shown effectiveness in mice by slowing tumor growth and increasing survival rates. 3. The use of red blood cell membrane coatings on nanoparticles helps these microrobots evade the immune system, allowing for prolonged activity against tumors.
