DNA 'barcodes' help NUS researchers pinpoint gold nanoparticles that can strike cancer at its power source

A new high-throughput platform screens dozens of nanoparticle designs in living systems to identify those that reach tumour mitochondria, enabling more precise and effective cancer therapies

DNA ‘Barcodes’ Help NUS Researchers Pinpoint Gold Nanoparticles That Can Strike Cancer at Its Power Source

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a high-throughput method to identify gold nanoparticles capable of delivering therapies directly to mitochondria (the energy centres inside cancer cells).
