DRUG DELIVERY
a delivery system based on nanosponge is three to five times more effective at reducing cancer tumor growth than direct
injection.
“To visualize Harth’s delivery system, imagine making tiny sponges that are about the size of a virus, filling them with a drug
and attaching special chemical”linkers” that bond preferentially to a feature found only on the surface of tumor cells, and
then injecting them into the body. The tiny sponges circulate around the body until they encounter the surface of a tumor cell,
where they stick on the surface (or are sucked into the cell) and begin releasing their potent cargo in a controllable and
predictable fashion.”
