Drug-free nanoparticles halted aggressive breast cancer tumors in preclinical trial

  • One response
New nanoparticles developed at the Technion do not release a drug, but rather affect the immune system around the tumor. In a preclinical trial, they inhibited aggressive triple-negative breast cancer.

Order from Chaos: Brownian Motion “Locks” the Spin of Photons in a Liquid

  • No comments
A study in Nature Materials from the Technion and China presents a new phenomenon in which light scattering from randomly moving nanoparticles creates measurable order – and may enable particle characterization and new optical methods.
