Nanocarriers Deploy Enzymes for Targeted Delivery of Anticancer Drugs
A newly devised nanocarrier delivery system transports a combination of anticancer and anti-angiogenesis drugs to the site of a tumor where the acidic environment releases them to damage the cancer cells and deprive them of nutrients by blocking creation of new blood vessels. More...08 Feb 2016
Gene Editing Technique Corrects Patient-Derived Stem Cell Mutation
The relatively new CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technique was used to correct a mutation in the genome of stem cells derived from skin cells taken from patients with the hereditary optical disorder retinitis pigmentosa. More...08 Feb 2016
