Blood-triggered generation of platinum nanoparticle functions as an anti-cancer agent

Platinum based drugs like cisplatin are common chemotherapy treatments for cancer. Here, the authors report on the in situ formation of platinum nanoparticles in patients and demonstrated how platinum nanoparticles can be synthesized using patients’ blood and provide effective drug delivery and canc...
