Scientists from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed a novel ultrasound-driven therapy that activates dormant cancer drugs directly inside tumors. By combining low-intensity ultrasound with specially designed nanoparticles, the team achieved a 99% tumor suppression rate and 66.7% cure rate in mice. This non-invasive approach minimizes side effects and could revolutionize targeted cancer treatment.
Co-senior authors Jeremy Levy of Pitt and Andrew Daley of Oxford, collaborators from the early days of the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute, wrote an explanatory analysis of their group’s chiral-electron findings publishing in Science Advances Friday. In this study that combines quantum physics, physics, biology, chemistry and organic systems, they developed in essence a programmable platform that could ultimately provide new ways to explore electrons in chiral systems — such as DNA, amino acids, proteins and more.
