Nanoparticle-mediated enzyme delivery for application in cancer therapy
Enzyme therapy is a promising form of cancer treatment. The specific nature of enzyme and substrate interaction gives enzyme therapy an edge compared to standard non-specific therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy. However, since most of these enzymes are of a foreign nature, the delivery of these immunogenic enzymes has…

Nanoinjection increases survival rate of cells to 90%
How do tumours grow? And how do bacteria transform harmless substances into medical agents? When biophysicists want to understand what is happening in living cells, they have to introduce fluorescent probes or other foreign molecules. There are several ways to overcome the cell wall without causing the cell permanent harm.
