Ultrasound Activates Nanoparticle Aggregates for Selective Drug Delivery

Researchers at the Harvard Wyss Institute have developed a nanoparticle aggregate system that releases a drug when it is dispersed using ultrasound. This means that it can be used to deliver toxic chemotherapy drugs directly to a tumor while reducing side-effects in healthy tissues.

Normally, many tumors are treated using chemotherapy drugs that t (Read more...)
