NIH SciBites: A Special Delivery That Kills Cancer Cells
on channel: NIH IRP (Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health)
Researchers have been using very small molecules called nanoparticles for decades to deliver medications to specific locations in the body. Jordan Jarvis, a postbaccalaureate research fellow in the Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health, is trying to create nanoparticles filled with a medicine called disulfiram that can be used to treat patients with rare skin cancers. Her nanoparticles could one day give those patients a less costly alternative treatment option for defeating their disease.
