#Stealth nanoparticles sneak past immune system s defences Small man-made peptides can help to sneak drug-bearing nanobeads past the ever-vigilant immune system,
They then stuck the peptide to commercially available polystyrene nanobeads. The beads also carried a dye
fluorescent nanobeads accumulated in the tumours. Nanoparticles tend to accumulate in tumours because of the tumour s haphazard structure and leaky blood vessels.
Buoyed by the evidence that the peptide-carrying nanobeads were circulating in the blood Discher and his team also tagged their nanobeads with the anticancer drug paclitaxel.
They saw that their peptide-carrying system shrank tumours just as well as the standard paclitaxel carrier, Cremophor,
Discher hopes that the system can be improved with custom-made nanobeads, rather than being limited to the off-the-shelf ones he and his team used."
