Flower power: Microscopic particles deliver cancer drugs with pinpoint accuracy

SMRTR summary

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed microscopic flower-shaped particles for targeted drug delivery in the body. These 1-5 micrometer particles can carry large amounts of medication, be steered using ultrasound, and monitored non-invasively, potentially revolutionizing cancer treatment by precisely delivering drugs to tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
