Four-in-One Agent that Can Detect, Target, and Disable Tumor Cells

Diagnosis and treatment in one go: Korean researchers led by Tae Gwan Park and Jinwoo Cheon have developed the basis for a four-in-one agent that can detect, target, and disable tumor cells while also making them macroscopically and microscopically visible. As they report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, their work involves magnetic iron oxide particles with a fluorescence dye, RNA fragments, and a special peptide attached.
