Bundled RNA Balls Attack Brain Tumors
Spherical nucleic acids, or SNAs, are balls of RNA with a gold nanoparticle core that can slip into brain tumors and block cancer gene expression, reports a new study in mice. The technology may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma, a deadly form of brain cancer.
This video shows a 3D reconstruction of magnetic resonance images after intracranial injection of Gd(III)-functionalized spherical nucleic acids.

Thanks Chad Haney
Its all going to nano particles..very interesting..
ReplyDeleteThis work was done in the facility that I manage. Let me try to find more details.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chad Haney =)
ReplyDeleteOur visualization guys made this video and are not getting any credit.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Science Translational Medicine forgot to mention it..or made a mistake.
ReplyDeleteSo video credit goes to...?
No the authors likely didn't know who made it and didn't bother to find out. There's a generic acknowledgement to the facility I run but not the actual people. Alex Waters and Matt McCory made this video possible.
