Using Nano-Caco to Stabilize Ferroptosis-Inducing Lipiodol-Based Drug Delivery
Recently, a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine has revealed a new way of inducing cell death through a process known as ferroptosis. By using nanoparticles made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to stabilize the drug Lipiodol, the scientists were able to induce cell death in a more targeted and efficient way than ever before. This method of inducing ferroptosis has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment, as it allows for more targeted and effective therapy with fewer side effects. The research paves the way for further exploration of ferroptosis as a viable therapy for treating cancer and other diseases.
