KAIST has reported a new cancer-fighting nanoparticle platform that combines two powerful ideas into one system: helping the immune system notice cancer cells and delivering gene therapy directly into those cells. The basic concept is simple. Instead of only trying to poison or block a tumor from the outside, the nanoparticle makes the cancer cell […]
Cancer drugs often fail not because they are weak, but because they never reach the exact place they are supposed to act, all the way down to the tiny structures inside tumour cells. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new way to search for nanoparticles that can carry treatment directly to […]
A new study in Nature Biotechnology describes a DNA-based drug system that can turn on only when it finds the right combination of markers on a cancer cell. This matters because many cancer drugs are powerful but also damage healthy tissue, so the main challenge is not only killing the tumor, but doing it with […]
Cancer drugs like docetaxel work against prostate, lung, and other cancers, but they hit the whole body and often do not fully wake up the immune system. In this study, the research team built tiny nanoparticles (about 100–120 nm across) that carry docetaxel plus a light‑activated dye (IR808) and are made to open mainly inside […]
Researchers at Duke University have developed a new ultrasound‑based method called SonoPIN (“Sonoporation‑assisted Precise Intracellular Nanodelivery”) that helps large anticancer molecules get inside tumor cells with high precision, while causing minimal damage to healthy tissue. In early lab experiments, the technique killed about half of the targeted cancer cells, while more than 99% of non‑targeted […]
Scientists have discovered that a simple mix of three amino acids can greatly improve how well lipid‑nanoparticle (LNP)–based therapies work in the body. These LNPs are tiny fat‑like packages used to carry mRNA or CRISPR components into cells, and they are already at the heart of new vaccines and gene‑editing treatments. The new finding suggests […]
Since October 2025, when the pre|CISION platform first demonstrated its potential to deliver dual payloads like MMAE and exatecan from a single molecule in prostate cancer models, significant new data has emerged that strengthens its case as a next-generation targeted therapy. The platform’s ability to exploit fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in the tumor microenvironment for […]
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University used tiny ultrasound-activated nanobubbles to dismantle the tough collagen walls that shield solid tumors from treatments. These “fortresses” made of stiff, crosslinked collagen block immune cells and drugs from reaching cancer cells deep inside, a major hurdle in fighting aggressive tumors like prostate cancer. The nanobubbles, filled with inert […]
Sapu-003, a nanoparticle-formulated version of everolimus delivered via a new platform (Deciparticle) has received approval for first-in-human Phase 1 testing in breast cancer patients, representing a major advance in intravenous oncology drug delivery. Unlike the standard oral everolimus tablet, which achieves only 10-20% bioavailability due to extensive first-pass metabolism and gastrointestinal degradation, the Deciparticle platform […]
A team of scientists in China has found a way to turn the same type of cells that cause allergies into a new kind of weapon against cancer. Their work suggests that the body’s fastest immune reaction, normally blamed for hives and asthma, could be redirected to wake up the immune system inside tumors and […]
