Nanoprobes hit targets in tumors, could lessen chemo side effects

Tiny nanoprobes have shown to be effective in delivering cancer drugs more directly to tumor cells ? mitigating the damage to nearby healthy cells ? and Purdue University research has shown that the nanoprobes are getting the drugs to right cellular compartments.Professor Joseph Irudayaraj and graduate student Jiji Chen, both in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, have found that the nanoprobes, or nanorods, when coated with the breast cancer drug Herceptin, are reaching the endosomes of cells, mimicking the delivery of the drug on its own.
