Targeted delivery of poly (methyl methacrylate) particles in colon cancer cells selectively attenuates cancer cell proliferation by Firdos Alam Khan, Sultan Akhtar, Dana Almohazey, Munther Alomari, Sarah Ameen Almofty, Ibrahim Badr, Abdelhamid Elaissari

“…The surface structure and the morphology of PMMA were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. We have also analysed their effects on cancerous cells (human colorectal carcinoma cells, HCT-116) and normal, healthy cells (human embryonic kidney cells, HEK-293) by using morphometric, MTT, DAPI and wound healing methods. …”
