Using Sperm to Deliver Cancer Drugs

In recent years, researchers have focused on developing ways to deliver drugs like chemotherapy agents specifically to cancer cells to minimize treatment side effects.  However, this effort is not without challenges — drugs can get diluted in body fluids or not travel deeply enough through tissues to reach the cancer cells. A new study identifies a potential natural, self-propelled carrier to deliver helpful drugs to cancers in the female reproductive tract: sperm.Read the whole story at Bioengineering Today: Using Sperm to Deliver Cancer Drugs.
