Use of Ferritin-Based Metal-Encapsulated Nanocarriers as Anticancer Agents

Use of Ferritin-Based Metal-Encapsulated Nanocarriers as Anticancer Agents

The ability of ferritin to bind and deliver metals and metal-based drugs to human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells was studied. We used heavy chain (H) ferritin-based metal-containing nanocarriers to test whether these constructs, which are able to cross the blood-brain barrier, may be used for the deliv...
