• Frédéric Lagarce, professor of biopharmacy and hospital practitioner in Angers, January 2019: A paper published in Nature Nanotechnology shows that titanium dioxide, silica, and gold nanoparticles can induce changes in the endothelium and thus leakage of tumor cells, leading to metastasis. “What is interesting / original is to show a potential risk of nanotechnologies in the treatment of tumors while these technologies are often presented as the answer to improve the performance of anticancer drugs. It should now be verified if these endothelial modifications are also found with polymeric or lipidic nanoparticles, much more used to encapsulate active ingredients and target tumors. If this were unfortunately the case, the whole strategy of nanomedicine (very cancer-oriented) would be called into question.
