Acid-Sensitive Nanoparticles Treat Ovarian Cancers
Abstract:
Mansoor Amiji, Ph.D., of Northeastern University, and Robert Langer, Ph.D., at MIT, led the team of investigators that tested the ability of biodegradable, pH-sensitive nanoparticles to safely and effectively deliver paclitaxel to rapidly growing tumors. These nanoparticles are made of several polymers, each of which contributes useful characteristics to the nanoparticle, such as water-solubility, water-insoluble drug packaging, and ability to repel proteins in blood and avoid elimination by immune system cells.
