Description

Jing Ren and co-authors build a nanoplatform that delivers boron into breast tumors for neutron capture therapy, in a 2026 study. The therapy needs boron loaded into tumors and traceable during treatment. Their polymer particles carry a boron-rich compound called carborane, use porphyrin units that fluoresce, and wear a stabilizing surface coat.

The particles held a high boron share and stayed stable in suspension. Breast cancer cells took them up efficiently and kept them. In mice, fluorescence imaging confirmed tumor localization after injection. Combined with thermal neutron irradiation, the platform suppressed tumor growth by about seventy-three percent against controls, without significant body-wide toxicity on tissue checks. Imaging and therapy arrive in one package.
