Theranostics have the potential to both diagnose
cancers and treat them, all in one package. But it’s challenging to
tell when—or even if—the package has reached and penetrated a
tumor. Now, researchers reporting in JACS Au have designed a
nanoparticle system that can get through tough pancreatic cancer
tumors, releasing fluorescent dyes in human cell samples and 3D
lab-made tumor masses for diagnostics and therapy.
