Gel embedded with drug-loaded nanoparticles targets tumors effectively, minimizing side effects.

Researchers developed a gel-based system by embedding nanoparticles loaded with cancer drugs within a gelatinous matrix. This innovative approach enhances drug delivery to solid tumors. The gel is injected directly into the tumor site, allowing sustained and controlled release of the medication over time. The nanoparticles gradually release the drugs, targeting the tumor while minimizing systemic side effects. This method shows promise in improving treatment efficacy for solid tumors.
