A new study demonstrates that nanoparticles can store and deliver chemotherapeutic drugs in vivo and effectively suppress tumors in mice. Strikingly, these nanoparticles accumulate in tumor after administration. Furthermore, the researchers showed that these nanoparticles are completely excreted from the body. The findings show promise for further uses of nanoparticles for delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs for cancer therapy.
