Cancer Treatment: Enhancing the Effectiveness of Radiation Therapy with Multifunctional Nanoparticles

A newly designed three-in-one nanosystem for cancer treatment is truly unique and multifunctional. It enhances radiation therapy by sensitising the cancer cells to radiation, delivers multiple drugs and on-demand drug delivery that gets triggered by radiation for chemotherapeutics at the tumour site, and improves the contrast of tumour for X-ray/CT imaging

Disarming a Tough Brain Cancer: How to Tackle Drug Resistance in Glioblastoma

Rather than trying to develop even stronger chemotherapy drugs, our approach aims to make cancer cells more sensitive to existing treatments by blocking their defence mechanisms. In this case, blocking TLK1 protein’s activity weakens the ability of cancer cells to survive, making it easier to kill them
