Targeted Cancer Treatment Using Nanomaterials Developed By Argonne, University Of Chicago Scientists

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago's Brain Tumor Center have developed a way to target brain cancer cells using inorganic titanium dioxide nanoparticles bonded to soft biological material. Thousands of people die from malignant brain tumors every year, and the tumors are resistant to conventional therapies.
