Breakthrough in macromolecular machines for actively controlled cancer drug delivery
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) scholars demonstrated the design and synthesis of a smart globular macromolecular machine vehicle for actively controlled cancer drug delivery that enhances the drug`s efficacy. This breakthrough gives insight to targeted therapy drugs such as Chlorambucil in the treatment of leukemia. The paper, titled `Higher-Generation Type III-B Rotaxane Dendrimers with Controlling Particle Size in Three-Dimensional Molecular Switching,` was published in Nature Communications.
