New nanocatalyst targets tumors without oxygen

Structure and biological mechanism of action of NP4 on tumor-targeted glutathione (GSH) oxidation catalyst in hypoxic osteosarcoma tumors. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53646-y Tumors often contain areas of oxygen-deficient tissue that do not tolerate conventional treatments. This is because drugs applied to tumors require oxygen to be effective. An international research team has developed a new mechanism of action…
