Researchers developed a rapid, one-pot method that used sunlight and a commercial vincristine formulation to form gold nanoparticles within five minutes without separate reducing or stabilizing agents. The particles retained vincristine’s antiproliferative activity against Colo-205 colon cancer cells and showed greater DPPH radical scavenging than free vincristine at several tested concentrations, while questions about drug photostability, release, stability, and in vivo performance remain. 10/22/2026

Researchers engineered hybrid strontium sulfite nanoparticle-modified lipid nanoparticles to deliver p53 mRNA, producing higher reporter-gene expression, higher p53 transcript levels, and greater apoptosis in breast cancer cells than conventional LNPs. In mice, the p53 mRNA-loaded hybrid carrier slowed 4T1 tumor growth, although the study was small and preclinical, and the clearest biodistribution advantage appeared after PEGylation. 10/21/2026
