Acid-sensitive polymer nanoparticles are effective at suppressing tumor growth when tested in an animal model of human ovarian cancer.
In addition, animals treated with this nanoparticle formulation do not appear to experience adverse side effects that often limit the ability of patients to tolerate chemotherapy.
