Molecular ‘cage’ approach could advance selective elimination of cancer cells

Chemotherapy saves the lives of cancer patients. However, these treatments are not without side effects and other limitations, which encourages basic research to focus on these challenges. A recent study published in Cell Reports Physical Science, which proposes the use of molecular “cages” (made of pseudopeptides) to selectively eliminate cancer cells in acidic microenvironments. Chemotherapy saves the lives of cancer patients.
