UC San Diego Researchers target tumors with tiny'Nanoworms'

 

Scientists at UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and MIT have developed nanometer-sized “nanoworms” that can cruise through the bloodstream without significant interference from the body’s immune defense system and—like tiny anti-cancer missiles—home in on tumors.

Flower power may bring ray of sunshine to cancer sufferers

A mini-protein found in sunflower seeds could be the key to stopping tumours spreading in prostate cancer patients, according to QUT researchers.

 

Dr Jonathan Harris, a senior lecturer in Queensland University of Technology's Faculty of Science, and PhD student Joakim Swedberg, both from the University's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, are working on the naturally occurring molecule, and have received more than $600,000 worth of grants this year to support their research.

Tiny magnets offer breakthrough in gene therapy for cancer

A revolutionary cancer treatment using microscopic magnets to enable'armed' human cells to target tumors has been developed by researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). Research shows that inserting these nanomagnets into cells carrying genes to fight tumors, results in many more cells successfully reaching and invading malignant tumors.
