Watery Nanoparticles Deliver Anticancer Therapy

Ultrafine nanoparticles made of a lacy web of polymer and tiny pockets of water may prove to be an ideal vehicle for delivering light-activated drugs to tumors. Preliminary experiments, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, show that cancer cells die quickly when treated with these nanoparticles and exposed to light.
