New DNA tetrahedron nanostructures improve targeted cancer therapy delivery
DNA
Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Jun 10 2026 Conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, often lack specificity and can damage both cancerous and healthy cells, leading to severe side effects. With this in mind, researchers at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) have developed DNA nanostructures called tetrahedrons and modified them by attaching a Vitamin E-derived molecule called alpha-tocopherol succinate (αT), which can disrupt vital functions inside cancer
