Tricking Tumors into Marking Themselves for Destruction - USC Viterbi | School of Engineering New research from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering harnesses focused ultrasound to reprogram solid tumors, making them more effective targets for immune cells.

USC biomedical engineers have found a way to make a solid tumor paint a target on its own back in order to train the body’s immune system to find and destroy it. Learn more: https://viterbischool.usc.edu/news/2025/11/tricking-tumors-into-marking-themselves-for-destruction/

This is figure 4, which shows clinical study to evaluate iron absorption from OatNF-SA-57Fe, OatNF-NaOH-58Fe and 54FeSO4 in iron-deficient Thai women.

Nanofibrils constructed from oat protein and carrying iron nanoparticles can increase absorption compared with ferrous sulfate, offering a promising fortification strategy for treating iron deficiency and improving human nutrition, according to a paper in Nature Food. go.nature.com/4oFkqxz 🍎📃 🧪
