Novel “Dot” system to improve cancer detection
Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) have developed a proof-of-concept nanosystem that dramatically improves the visualization of tumours. The platform achieves a five-fold increase over existing tumour-specific optical imaging methods. The novel approach generates bright tumour signals by delivering “quantum dots” to cancer cells without any toxic effects.Xiangyou Liu, Ph.D., and Gary […]
