Plant virus-based treatment derived from cowpea mosaic virus nanoparticles effectively combats metastatic cancers in mice, according to a UC San Diego study.
A new study from the University of California San Diego demonstrates the effectiveness of a plant virus-based treatment in combating metastatic cancers in mice. The treatment, made from nanoparticles derived from the cowpea mosaic virus, significantly enhances survival rates and suppresses metastatic tumor growth across multiple cancer types, including colon, ovarian, melanoma, and breast cancer. The study, published in Advanced Science, builds upon previous research by Nicole Steinmetz's lab, a professor of nanoengineering at UC San Diego.
