Image: The particles start out relatively large (about 100 nanometers) to enable smooth transport into the tumor through leaky blood vessels. Then, in acidic conditions found close to tumors, the particles discharge “bomblets” just five nanometers in size. Inside tumor cells, a second chemical step activates the platinum-based drug cisplatin (Photo courtesy of Emory University).

Smart Nanoparticle Drug Delivery System Avoids Tumor-Protecting Obstacles

As a clearer image of the tumor microenvironment emerges, nanoparticle drug transport systems have evolved to overcome obstacles that prevent effective delivery of the chemotherapeutic agent.  More...
