GPS nanoparticle delivers therapeutic payload to cancer cells (IMAGE)
Caption
On the left is an electron microscopic image of the nanoparticles designed by the team led by Penn State researchers. On the right, the nanoparticles, shown as black dots, find the basal-like breast cancer cells in yellow and deliver the gene-editing tools. The disintegrating cell demonstrates the destructive power of the therapy delivered by the nanoparticle.
