"...New Drug Kills Cancer 20,000x More Effectively With No Detectable Side Effects
Northwestern University scientists have reimagined a classic chemotherapy drug using nanotechnology, dramatically improving its potency and safety. By redesigning the drug as a spherical nucleic acid that binds to DNA, the team transformed a weak, poorly soluble compound into a precision cancer therapy that effectively targets leukemia cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed.
