This is called photothermal ablation therapy. Magnetically active particles like iron (Fe) can enable physical therapies by generating heat
and therapy delivered from outside the cell which may also affect (and potentially harm) nearby normal cells.
In contrast to conventional cancer therapy a University of Cincinnati team has developed several novel designs for iron-oxide based nanoparticles that detect diagnose
and destroy cancer cells using photo-thermal therapy (PTT). PTT uses the nanoparticles to focus light-induced heat energy only within the tumor harming no adjacent normal cells.
That means the photo-thermal effect of iron-oxide nanoparticles may show in the next decade a strong promise in human cancer therapy likely with localized tumors.
In this instance rather than being used as therapy the synthetic stool was used to examine the impact of nanoparticles on the human gut.
and their use promises to lead to both conceptual and therapeutic advances in the important and emerging field of tissue engineering, drug delivery, cancer therapies and immune engineering,
while opening the door to therapies and treatments that can be customized to specific patient needs.
This is a significant milestone in the development of synthetic platelets as well as in targeted drug delivery said Samir Mitragotri CBE director who specializes in targeted therapy technologies.
Additionally this technology allows for customization of the particles with other therapeutic substances medications therapies
With optimizable PLNS physicians would be able to strike a finer balance between anticoagulant therapy
and truly targeted therapies. Additionally according to the researchers these synthetic platelets cost relatively less and have a longer shelf life than do human platelets a benefit in times of widespread emergency
Our interest is focused now on incorporating these findings into the design of new nanotechnological drugs for transdermal therapy says Dr Kanaras.
The research team is now focusing on preparing the nanoparticle eye drops for clinical trials with the hope that this nanoparticle therapy could reach the shelves of drugstores within five years.
#Targeted nanoparticles that combine imaging with two different therapies could attack cancer other conditions Nanosystems that are'theranostic'they combine both therapeutic and diagnostic functions present an exciting new opportunity for delivering drugs
The natural fluorescence of the polymer assists with diagnosis and monitoring of therapy as it shows where nanoparticles have accumulated.
Thus cancer cells can be subjected to a two-pronged attack from the ROS therapy and the chemotherapy drug that is released within them (see image).
and imaging-guided photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy with triggered drug release through one light switch explains Liu emphasizing the significance of the system.
Crucially the combined therapy had a greater cytotoxic effect than any one therapy alone. The white light used in this work does not penetrate tissue sufficiently for in vivo applications Liu explains
but we are now attempting to use near-infrared laser light to improve the tissue penetration and move toward on-demand cancer therapy.
Effective therapy would typically require the administration of substantial amounts of drug-encapsulating vessels into the body.
Unlike conventional therapy our green tea carrier can eradicate more cancer cells and accumulate significantly less drugs in vital organs where they could cause adverse side effects.

"This line of research is important to future therapy for Her2-positive breast cancers because it defines a way to make the current treatment better
which is needed to make the targeted therapy work. This therapy, when translated for use in humans,
would be beneficial in reducing toxicity because the amount of antibody could be decreased by two-thirds and the amount of chemotherapy by at least half.

Targeted modification of such proteins therefore plays a significant role in medical diagnostics and therapies.
One obvious and highly promising application is in the production of so-called antibody-drug conjugates (ADCS) for use in tumor therapy.
