Targeting Nanoparticles to Pancreatic Cancer In Vivo

Abstract:
Taking a page from pharmaceutical chemists, researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard Medical School have created a library of 146 different nanoparticles that they were then able to search for nanoparticles capable of targeting specific cells in the body. Using this approach, the investigators have found a previously undiscovered nanoparticle capable of targeting pancreatic cancer in vivo.
