Prof. Satchi-Fainaro says, "In our study, we developed an innovative platform using biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles to deliver pairs of drugs to primary tumors and metastases.
Synthetic nanoparticles are artificially manufactured particles that have dimensions in the nanoscale range (typically 1 to 100 nanometers). These particles can be made of a wide variety of materials ...
We used polymers that we modified so that during the emulsification process, such nanoparticles form, and then we developed a method of encapsulating various types of drugs in polymeric shells ...
A new type of cloth developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo can heat up when exposed to the sun thanks to innovative nanoparticles embedded in the fabric's fibers. This advance ...
