Microscopy Meets Medicine: Spirulina-Derived Nanoparticles Take Aim at Cancer

Posted by SANGRAM POLLEY, on 14 April 2025

This article from the International Journal of Nanomedicine presents a promising new biomimetic strategy that makes use of natural resources as an alternative in cancer therapy. The Researchers have created Spirulina-derived Nanoparticles (sNPs) using a solvent-free process and with the aid of centrifugation and sonication technique. The lysosomes sus-pended averaged an approximate size of 126nm,
