Researchers from Brown University and the University of Rhode Island have developed a new technique to improve radiation therapy acts on cancer cells. Gold nanoparticles are delivered to cancer cells usingpH Low-Insertion Peptides (pHLIP), compounds that are attracted to acidic environments. pHLIPs accumulate around tumor sites since cancer cells tend to be more acidic than healthy ones. The team attached gold nanoparticles to the pHLIPs and injected ...
