Breakthrough Therapy Eradicates Gastric Cancer Cells with Antibody Fragment-Nanoparticle Complex
A recent breakthrough in nanomedicine has scientists excited. Researchers have developed a new antibody-fragment nanoparticle therapeutic that has the potential to eradicate gastric cancer in its early stages. In a study recently published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, scientists were able to demonstrate that the nanoparticles were able to target and destroy cancer cells in a laboratory setting. The nanoparticles, which are made up of antibody fragments and biodegradable polymers, were able to effectively target cancer cells while avoiding healthy cells. This could be a major breakthrough in the treatment of gastric cancer, and could open the doors to new therapies that are both safe and effective.
