Na**daisies Encapsulate Anti-Cancer ***** for Targeted One-Two Punch (VIDEO) There’s a variety of methods currently being researched to deliver chemotherapy ***** to tumors without poisoning the rest of the body. Researchers at **rth Carolina State and University of **rth Carolina-Chapel Hill have developed a technique to Encapsulate doxorubicin and camptothecin, chemo agents, within flower-shaped carriers made of polyethylene glycol (PEG).
The so called “na**daisies” are created by attaching camptothecin to the PEG so they hang off on one side of the surface. Doxorubicin is added to a solution with water, while the PEG sheets, being hydrophobic, curl up into a round shape capturing the drug that’s in*the water solution. The PEG protects the ***** inside until the na**particle gets into*a tumor. Once there, the outer shell breaks down and releases the payload right at the treatment site.
Here’s an animation demonstrating how the tech**logy functions:
