Nano-palladium is a cellular catalyst for in vivo chemistry

Palladium (Pd) is a well-known catalyst in organic chemistry but its use in nanomedicine is limited. Here, the authors design a Pd nanoparticle that triggers the activation of an antitumour prodrugin vivo, which shows efficacy and improves toxicity compared to traditional solvent- and nanoparticle-d...
