Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have developed cancer-fighting polymer capsules that they suggest could be used for targeted drug delivery of chemotherapeutics. The team’s work was published in ACS Nano.
The multi-layer capsules feature good imaging contrast, as well as efficient encapsulation of doxorubicin, according to the researchers. The vessels are triggered by low- and high-power doses of ultrasound to release their cargo.
