Researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine and RWTH Aachen University have demonstrated that injecting nanoscale potato-virus particles and doxorubicin into melanoma tumors slows tumor progression in mice. The team’s work was published in Nano Letters.
Although simultaneous injection of the virus particles and a chemo drug prompted a positive response, fusing the two into a combination nanoparticle did not add any benefit, the team reported.
