Hybrid Nanoparticles for Cancer Detection and Treatment
Recently, scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have achieved a significant breakthrough in cancer research, developing hybrid nanoparticles capable of both detecting and destroying cancer cells.
- IISc researchers created hybrid nanoparticles composed of gold and copper sulphide with photothermal, oxidative stress, and photoacoustic properties.
- These nanoparticles, when exposed to light, generate heat, effectively killing cancer cells, and produce toxic singlet oxygen atoms contributing to cell destruction.
- In addition to treatment, the nanoparticles offer diagnostic capabilities, generating ultrasound waves when absorbing light, enabling cancer cell detection with high contrast and accuracy.
- The unique reduction method employed by the ....
