Oral delivery a possibility for silica-based C’Dots

Nov 27, 2023

(Nanowerk News) Take a pill, or get a shot? Given the choice, most people would likely go for the former.

Key Takeaways

Cornell researchers have found a way to potentially administer C’Dots – ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell hybrid silica nanoparticles – orally, which was previously thought possible only via injection.

This development could revolutionize cancer treatment, shifting from injection-based therapies to oral administration, enhancing patient comfort and accessibility.

Studies indicate that nanoparticles below 20 nanometers, like C’Dots, can…
