Gold nano particle molecule delivers curcumin to cancer cells
Shows promise for breast cancer Rx, the protein/polymer-gold nanoparticle composite, besides being easy to synthesize, can load up with cytoxotic drugs, carry them to malignant cells, and unload them where they can do the most damage with the least amount of harm to the patient.
The hybrid molecule enhances small-molecule loading, sustained release, and increased uptake in breast cancer cells. A/Prof Montclare explained that these abilities make the P-GNP vehicle unique among hybrids. “The protein component has been exclusively developed in our lab; no one else has made such constructs,” she said...
