To understand the University of Florida’s nanoparticle imaging research and its potential to boost cancer immunity, think of bloodhounds sniffing out troubled targets.
White blood cells (T cells) are the bloodhounds. Cancer is the trouble. And dendritic cell therapy is the trainer directing those bloodhounds to those targets.
In a collaboration between UF’s biomedical engineering and neurosurgery departments, UF researchers are testing nanoparticle imaging to track that process and make sure T cells get to those cancer cells.
