Read moreBy increasing the amount of an anticancer agent that gets to tumor cells, as opposed to healthy cells, researchers hope to minimize the potential side effects of therapy while maximizing therapeutic response. This approach has been taken one step farther by targeting the specific location inside a tumor cell, where the drug ceramide exerts its cell-killing activity.
