Polytech scientists, as part of a research team under the #Priority2030 program, have developed a method to reduce the side effects of cancer therapy.

👉 Why do side effects occur?
Toxic anti-cancer drugs affect not only the tumor but also healthy cells. This is why chemotherapy is accompanied by side effects like hair loss, nausea, and fatigue.

👉 What is the researchers' solution?
Using nanoparticles as containers for the active substance to deliver it precisely to the target – the tumor.

Creating a super-coating for them made of lecithin – a substance that makes up 30% of our brain. This biocompatible coating won't trigger an immune response and will make the nanoparticles less "detectable" to healthy cells.
