UCLA RESEARCH BRIEF

FINDINGS

Researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and UCLA School of Dentistry have identified a potential new combination therapy to treat advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the most common type of head and neck cancer.

In test with mice, the sterosome activated bone regeneration was activated without needing additional drugs.

A team of biomaterials scientists and dentists at the UCLA School of Dentistry has developed a nanoparticle that, based on initial experiments in animals, could improve treatment for bone defects.

Collaborative project will help first responders at UCLA Health and beyond
