NANO-HYDROGELS FINDS AND KILLS CANCER CELLS
Hydrogels are materials that are commonly used in day to day life in objects such as contact lens or diapers,in order to control humidity.Chemical engineers at the University of Guadalajara (UdeG), in Mexico have developed a new technology that uses thermosensitive nanoparticles (nano-hydrogels) to control the release of anyicancer drugs inside the human body.The basic idea behind this is that the drug can be enclosed within the nano-hydrogelsand transported directly to cancer cells whrer it ca
