Adding nanoparticles to the surface of tumour cells could make them more susceptible to treatment with particular cancer drugs, according to new research at MIT. The study showed that nanoparticles tethered to the cell surface can increase the effects of forces exerted on the tumour cells by physiological fluids flowing within the body, which makes the cells much more vulnerable to attack by certain therapeutics……….
