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…

Nanoparticle-based approach targets inflammatory cells for obesity treatment
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain As reported in a recent study published in ACS Nano, researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed a new nanoparticle-based therapy for the treatment of obesity. This innovative approach targets inflammatory cells in adipose tissue, modulates the immune system, and promotes browning of adipose tissue. This study addresses the global obesity epidemic and…
