Complement-mediated tumour growth: implications for cancer nanotechnology and nanomedicines

    Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    The recent unexpected observation that complement activation helps turnout growth and progression has an important bearing on the future development of cancer nanomedicines for site-specific tumour targeting as these entities are capable of triggering complement. These issues are discussed and suggestions are provided for future design and development of safer and effective cancer nanomedicines.
