Smart nanofibers with preferential lung-targeting properties for metastatic breast cancer treatment

In this project, the lab designed a new nanofiber precursor (pNFP), a new generation of nanofibers with preferential lung-targeting and retention properties for treating pulmonary metastases. The nanofibers, which display a very high aspect ratio, can rearrange into a large interfibril network. In the deep alveolar areas, this network favors passive lung targeting and local retention via...
