Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – October 2021
This time we wanted to highlight Professor Tebello Nyokong’s team at Rhodes University, since their latest research tackles two big unmet needs in cancer therapy: tumor hypoxia and side effects of the drugs. The team designed multifunctional liposomes that can locally generate oxygen within tumors to alleviate hypoxia, which is a significant contributor to resistance to radio- and chemotherapies. These nanodrugs also hold the potential to reduce problematic side effects of standard cancer therapies as a result of active tumor targeting and on-demand drug release following light irradiation with the ML7710 laser system @680 nm.
Modulight is very happy to be supporting this research. We would like to deliver our warmest congratulations to the research team!
