Potato virus shows potential for cancer treatments

After a recent research study, the potato virus X (PVX) was shown to have potential for possible cancer treatments. Researchers hope to use it as a drug carrier, delivering doxorubicin (DOX)—a commonly used cancer chemotherapy.

According to the researchers’ findings, published in the journal Nanoscale, PVX-DOX treatment resulted in reduced tumor growth. The research team concluded that their results open the door for further development of PVX and other high-aspect ratio plant viral nanoparticles (VNPs) for applications in cancer therapy.
