Prolonged intracellular accumulation of light-inducible nanoparticles in leukemia cells allows their remote activation

Leukaemia cells resident in the bone marrow niche are often resistant to conventional therapies. In this study, the authors develop light-sensitive, polymeric, retinoic acid-containing nanoparticles that are able to modulate the differentiation of resistant leukaemia cells bothin vitro and in vivo.
