Inspired by the microscopic gripping power of gecko toes, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and CU Anschutz have developed a new cancer therapy that adheres tightly to tumors and delivers chemotherapy drugs over several days. The innovation centers
Gecko-Inspired Nanoparticles Deliver Chemotherapy With Precision Read More »
Cancer treatment has long been a balancing act—target the tumor without harming healthy tissue, deliver drugs precisely, and somehow rally the immune system to keep the disease from coming back. Most therapies manage one or two of these goals, but
