Lab Study Shows Silica Nanoparticles Wiped Out Aggressive Prostate Tumors in Mice When Combined with Immunotherapy

Silica nanoparticles destroyed aggressive prostate tumors in mice when combined with immunotherapy, a new Cornell study found. Here is what the early results mean.

Tiny silica particles wiped out aggressive prostate cancer in mice

Tiny silica nanoparticles engineered to seek out prostate cancer caused tumor cells to self-destruct and supercharged the immune system in preclinical mouse studies. Combined with immunotherapy, the treatment produced complete remissions in multiple mice, raising hopes for a powerful new approach to prostate cancer.
