Why glowing ‘soot’ could be the key to delivering drugs to cancer cells
Researchers from our Department of Chemistry have found that nano-scale tubes made of carbon could be used to safely penetrate human cells and deliver anti-cancer medicines or modified DNA molecules for gene therapy. Although there is a long way to go before the concept can undergo medical trials, a team led by Dr Sofia Pascu from the University’s Department of Chemistry has shown how these tubes could be used as a ‘cargo carrier’, to break through the outer membranes of cells that some useful therapeutic molecules would otherwise be unable to enter.
