Novel Nanoparticles Deliver Innovative Cancer Chemoimmunotherapy
Song Li, M.D., Ph.D.
Professor of pharmaceutical sciences in the Pitt School of Pharmacy and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center
University of Pittsburgh researchers have designed cancer-fighting nanoparticles that co-deliver a chemotherapy drug and a novel immunotherapy, according to a new Nature Nanotechnology study published today.
The new immunotherapy approach silences a gene that the researchers discovered was involved in immunosuppression. When combined with an existing chemotherapy drug and packaged into tiny nanoparticles, the therapy shrunk tumors in mouse models of colon and pancreatic cancer.
