New iron nanomaterial wipes out cancer cells without harming healthy tissue
Oregon State University researchers report a ferrous metal–organic framework that exploits tumor acidity and high H2O2 to produce both hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen, killing cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue in preclinical work.
Why it mattersOregon State University engineered a ferrous metal–organic framework generating hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen; prioritize preclinical.
