Nanoparticles in pancreatic cancer. Light micrograph of magnetic iron nanoparticles being used to target specific receptors on pancreatic cancer cells and deliver drugs. This image shows the nanoparticles being used on cells with IGF-1R receptors. The nanoparticles are conjugated to a chemotherapy drug (dark blue-black). This tissue is a mouse model of pancreatic cancer, with tumour-associated macrophages expressing IGF-1R (red) and CD68 (green). These magnetic iron nanoparticles are theranostic, meaning they are capable of both diagnostic and therapeutic functions. This image was created in 2017, as part of research carried out at Emory University, USA. | |
