Summary

This research develops gold nanoparticles coated with peptides to block DNA repair in colorectal cancer cells, helping overcome drug resistance. Laboratory studies show the treatment dramatically reduces cancer cell survival after radiation while minimising toxicity. The approach could provide a safer, more effective therapy for colorectal cancer and other drug-resistant cancers.
