NANOTECHNOLOGY UPDATE: Gold nanoparticles deliver DOX directly to cancer. “Another week, another miracle nanoparticle that promises to deliver anti-cancer drugs directly into tumors while leaving healthy cells alone. This time, it’s a team from the University of Syracuse with the promising little development. Their system hitches DNA onto gold nanoparticles, which then binds to the anti-cancer drug doxorubin, also known as DOX.”
