New Carbon-Encapsulated Magnetite Nanodonut Offers Synergistic Treatment for Cancer
A breakthrough in cancer treatment has been achieved through the development of an innovative nanodonut-like structure that combines carbon encapsulated magnetite and drugs. Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have created a nanostructure that has demonstrated powerful synergistic effects in treating cancer cells. The nanodonut-like structure, which is composed of carbon encapsulated magnetite particles, is capable of carrying large amounts of drugs and delivering them directly to cancer cells. This new technology has the potential to revolutionize the way cancer is treated: the nanodonut-like structure can be used to deliver drugs to cancer cells with greater precision, increasing the effectiveness of the treatment and reducing the side effects.
