- Taxol bristle ball: a wrench in the works for cancer
09-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Rice University chemists have discovered a way to load dozens of molecules of the anti-cancer drug Taxol onto tiny gold spheres. The result is a ball many times smaller than a living cell that literally bristles with the drug.
