MIT Uses Nanotech to Hit Cancer with One-Two Punch

May 12, 2014

(Computer World) – In a second report this week on scientists’ use of nanotechnology to battle cancer, researchers at MIT announced a new way to use nanoparticles to give cancerous cells a one-two punch. MIT reported that researchers used nanoparticles to carry two drugs and release them one at a time. The treatment was shown to “dramatically shrink” lung and breast tumors in mice.
