Nanoscale Cholesterol
Carrier Targets Tumors
Low-density lipoprotein, better known as LDL, is one of the chief villains involved in the development of coronary artery disease. But new research results suggest that for cancer patients with glioblastoma multiforme, the most common malignant brain tumor in adults, synthetic LDL-like nanoparticles could prove to be the vehicle of choice for delivering potent anticancer drugs to tumor cells. Writing in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics, a team of investigators, led by Trudy Forte of Berkeley Lab and the Children’s Hospital of Oakland Research Institute, describes its development of a nanoparticle that targets a cell-surface LDL receptor that is overproduced by glioblastoma cells. Full story.

Using the proper tools and properly storing sharp objects can help prevent injuries. Go here for more information on how to safely use sharp objects.
