From #CancerEngineeringSummit: Natalie Artzi, PhD (@NatalieArtzi), of @harvardmed, shares how structural nanomedicine can maximize the safety and efficacy of cancer therapies, including mRNA-based treatments.

[Science in Boston @ScienceinBoston]

New work using cGAS #LipidNanoparticles shows how cancer cells can be used to contribute to their own elimination.

Check out the work from Drs. @Alex_Cryer and @NatalieArtzi at the @wyssinstitute and @BrighamWomens: https://t.co/l9E3wW5Pkh

Cancer's Own Machinery 'Hijacked' to Spark Anti-Tumor Response

The immune-activating molecule cGAMP reacts to the presence of dsDNA in the cells’ cytoplasm, causing the #immunesystem to fight the tumor
