Nanofibers made of copper-binding peptides disrupt cancer cells at Salimpour Site.

Dr. Salimpour Site |While toxic in high concentrations, copper is essential to life as a trace element. Many tumors require significantly more copper than healthy cells for growth—a possible new point of attack for cancer treatment.
