Cancer is a complex disease to treat, and yet the operating principle of many current treatments is to simply kill healthy cells a little slower than cancerous ones. In response, scientists at The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China have developed a sophisticated nanoparticle-based treatment. Their theranostic nanoparticles carry an anti-cancer drug cargo, and showcase multiple cutting-edge nanomedicine technologies to enhance the drug’s efficacy, including selective drug delivery, photoactive agents, and even signal-jamming genetic material……
