Cancer Cells Killed in Lab Experiments via “Trojan Horse” Approach, Say Researchers

Researchers at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have killed cancer cells in lab experiments and reduced tumor growth in mice using a new approach that turns a nanoparticle into a “Trojan horse” which causes cancer cells to self-destruct. This has been announced by NTU Singapore on September 23, 2020, through a media release. The “Trojan horse” nanoparticle was created by the researchers by coating it with a specific amino that cancer cells rely on, along with other similar amino acids, to survive. This amino acid is the L-phenylalanine. L-phenylalanine cannot be made by the body. It must be … Continue reading Cancer Cells Killed in Lab Experiments via “Trojan Horse” Approach, Say Researchers
