flag Oregon State researchers created an iron-based nanomaterial that kills breast cancer in mice using dual reactive oxygen species, with no toxicity or recurrence.

flag Researchers at Oregon State University have developed an iron-based nanomaterial that kills cancer cells by generating both hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen within tumors, exploiting the acidic, high-peroxide environment of cancer cells. flag The dual-action approach, part of chemodynamic therapy, showed strong effectiveness in lab and mouse models, eliminating human breast tumors completely with no recurrence or toxicity. flag The nanoagent outperformed previous treatments by producing both reactive oxygen species with higher efficiency. flag The team plans to test it against other cancers, including pancreatic cancer. flag The study, funded by the NIH, was published in Advanced Functional Materials.
