Unwanted symptoms are often the result of medicine going where it’s not needed and harming healthy cells. To minimize this risk, researchers in Quebec have developed nanoparticles that only release a drug when exposed to near-infrared light, which doctors could beam onto a specific site. Their report appears in the <em>Journal of the American Chemical Society</em>.</p> Tue, 19 Jan 2016 18:17:23 +0000 nima.adibpour@mail.mcgill.ca 25106 at /newsroom
