NANOPARTICLE TARGETING TO BREAST CANCER

Nanoscale drug delivery systems have the potential to enable safer and more effective anti-cancer therapy through targeting. Polymeric nanoparticles have many advantages in this field because they are stable, their properties and composition can be controlled, and they can serve as a platform for the simultaneous delivery of multiple therapeutic and diagnostic compounds. The overarching goal of using nanotechnology in cancer therapy is to change drug distribution in the body, thereby increasing exposure of target cells in solid tumours to cytotoxic drugs, while reducing side effects associated with systemic delivery. To promote ongoing research, the proposed 3D animation translates the targeting process into a continuous narrative, demonstrating the utility and flexibility of the polymeric nanoparticle system developed in the Shoichet lab at the University of Toronto. This animation explores the science that underlies our technology and our most recent preclinical data.
