Novel nanomaterial uses oxidative stress to kill cancer cells

The iron-based nanomaterial induces oxidative stress selectively in cancer cells, showing potent toxicity in multiple lines with negligible harm to healthy cells, researchers reported.

Summary by Phys.org
Scientists at Oregon State University have developed a new nanomaterial that triggers a pair of chemical reactions inside cancer cells, killing the cells via oxidative stress while leaving healthy tissues alone. The study led by Oleh and Olena Taratula and Chao Wang of the OSU College of Pharmacy appears in Advanced Functional Materials.
