Chinese Academy of Sciences Charts New Path for ‘Smart’ Liquid‑Metal Nanoparticles in Tumour Targeting and Drug Delivery

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed how deformable liquid‑metal nanoparticles self‑assemble in tumours, fuse inside cells and evade lysosomal degradation—mechanisms that could enable more effective, controllable nanomedicines. The work offers both a blueprint for intelligent nanoparticle design and a reminder of translational challenges around safety, reproducibility and scale‑up.
