New system uses nanodiamonds to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to brain tumors

September 16, 2013

Researchers at UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed an innovative drug-delivery system in which tiny particles called nanodiamonds are used to carry chemotherapy drugs directly into brain tumors. The new method was found to result in greater cancer-killing efficiency and fewer harmful side effects than existing treatments. (Nanotechnology Now)
