Researchers develop DNA-tagged gold nanoparticles to enhance accuracy in cancer treatment.

Researchers at NUS have created a new method using DNA-tagged gold nanoparticles to enhance cancer treatment accuracy. These nanoparticles, especially triangle-shaped ones, effectively deliver therapeutic substances and heat tumor cells during therapy. The DNA barcoding technique allows for efficient screening of nanoparticle shapes and sizes, lowering costs. This method can also be used for RNA delivery and targeting diseases in specific organs, potentially leading to safer and more effective personalized cancer treatments.
