Assam researchers develop drug designed to activate inside cancer cells
Published
Scientists at two Assam research institutions have developed an experimental drug intended to switch on under conditions commonly found inside cancer cells, potentially reducing damage to healthy tissue.
Why it matters
A treatment that activates selectively could improve cancer therapy's safety, but its public-health value depends on successful testing beyond the laboratory.
