“In our study, we found that a special compound in tea was attracted to
tumor cells in the prostate,” said Kattesh Katti, curators’ professor of
radiology and physics in the School of Medicine and the College of Arts
and Science. “When we combined the tea compound with radioactive gold
nanoparticles, the tea compound helped ‘deliver’ the nanoparticles to
the site of the tumors and the nanoparticles destroyed the tumor cells
very efficiently.”
