Researchers at Radboud University have developed nanorockets with temperature responsive “brakes”, enabling the carrier to stop in diseased tissues where temperatures are higher. The team’s work was published in Nature Chemistry this week.
The nanocarriers can self-assemble to form functional units in any shape. “Our biggest challenge is to provide our nanorockets with various functionalities,” senior author Daniela Wilson said in prepared remarks. “We now demonstrate the 1st molecularly built brake system, enabling the rockets to start and stop at desired locations.”
