Drug delivery polymer research. Researchers developing new stimuli sensitive polymers to deliver therapeutic agents directly to the cancer tumour site,minimizing the side effects caused by whole-body cancer treatments. These new polymers remain in a liquid form when dissolved in water,but form a solid gel under various stimuli such as body heat. This research is being carried out at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL),Richland,Washington,USA. Image published in 2015 | |
