Cancer-targeting nanoparticles are moving closer to human trials

technologyreview.com Anne Trafton 2025-08-28 11:00:00

In the original production technique, layers with different properties can be laid down by alternately exposing a particle to positively and negatively charged polymers, with extensive purification to remove excess polymer after each application. Each layer can carry therapeutics as well as molecules that help the particles find and enter cancer cells. But the process is time-consuming and would be difficult to scale up.

Right off the bat, I'm letting you know this bed is made of neither silk nor snow. I would argue that it’s made with something even better—latex. The feel of latex can be hard to pinpoint, as I’ve heard it compared to everything from a thicker yoga mat or trampoline to even a waterbed.

It’s also pretty good at keeping out heat and allergens, which is a win for hot sleepers and those with allergies. With the
