«For years, researchers have focused on delivering more chemotherapy drugs into cancer cells using nanoparticles, without targeting the root of drug resistance,» He said. (sciencedaily.com)
These patients often can't tolerate more chemotherapy, and they typically have less than a year to live. (sciencedaily.com)
To address this challenge, our research group is using nanoparticles not only to deliver more chemotherapy drugs to the target site within cancer cells, but also to compromise the function of the efflux pumps and thereby significantly improve safety and efficacy of cancer therapy.» (sciencedaily.com)
