Researchers develop 'nano cocktail' to target and kill tumors

A team of researchers in California and Massachusetts has developed a "cocktail" of different **nanometer-sized particles** that work in concert within the bloodstream to locate, adhere to and kill cancerous **tumors**. "This study represents the first example of the benefits of employing a cooperative nanosystem to fight **cancer**," said Michael Sailor, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego and the primary author of a paper describing the results, which is being published in a forthcoming issue of the **Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences**.
