New Findings in Breast Cancer Described from Tongji University (Alginate-functionalized and 4t1 Cell Membrane-coated Multi-tasking Nanoparticulate System for Near-infrared-triggered Photodynamic Therapy On Breast Cancer: In Vitro...).

Researchers at Tongji University in Shanghai, China, have developed a novel nanoparticulate system for near-infrared-triggered photodynamic therapy on breast cancer. The system, called 4TUCNP@SMZ, combines oxidized sodium alginate and 4T1 cancer cell membrane-coated up-conversion nanoparticles to target breast cancer cells effectively. The study demonstrated that these nanoparticles inhibit tumor development through chemo-dynamic therapy and photodynamic therapy, making them a versatile agent for breast cancer treatment. This research has been peer-reviewed and offers promising advancements in oncology and women's health. [Extracted from the article]
