Going For Gold With A Novel Interventional Radiology Treatment For Pancreatic Cancer (Medical News Today)
Pancreatic cancer known as the most fatal cancer with no known effective treatment requires a radical new therapy. A promising approach may come in the form of tiny gold nanoparticles loaded with a therapeutic agent to kill cancer in a novel procedure called “nanoembolization,” said researchers at the Society of Interventional Radiology’s 35th Annual... »

Researchers develop new tool for gene delivery (EurekAlert!)
( Tufts University, Health Sciences ) Researchers have developed a new tool to deliver DNA in gene therapy. DNA delivered to the retina with a peptide called PEG-POD was expressed 215 times more efficiently than delivery of DNA alone. The finding highlights PEG-POD as a tool for non-viral gene therapy treatments for eye disorders... »
