Researchers from Washington State University have developed a way to target drug delivery to a tumor by attaching the therapeutic to white blood cells. The discovery, which the team describes as a 1st of its kind, could help doctors provide more targeted cancer treatment.
The researchers attached a nanoscale particle to a white blood cell to ferry the drug past the blood vessels that traditionally block drugs from getting into a tumor. The team’s work was published in the journal Advanced Materials.
