Nanodiamonds block tumor metastasis in mice

(Nanowerk News) Finding ways to contain cancer growth and prevent its spread from original sites to other body areas has posed an enduring challenge for medical researchers. Metastasis enables cancers to become more aggressive and is linked to over 90% of cancer deaths. Therapies capable of disrupting this process could thus provide lifesaving clinical advances. However, previous efforts targeting metastasis have encountered hurdles ranging from ineffective delivery to poor efficacy across cancer types. Recent innovations in nanomedicine offer fresh opportunities to…
