Silver nanoclusters-which could be applied to the treatment of cancer in the future-block an early step of DNA replication, a new study by researchers in the Institute for Cancer Genetics at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center has found.
Silver nanoclusters, which contain just a few to tens of atoms, are a more recent addition to the collection of silver nanomaterials, including larger-sized silver nanoparticles.
“In the long term, we may be able to harness the toxicity of silver nanoclusters.”
Because of silver nanoclusters’ unique chemical characteristics, they are used in a wide array of applications, including antimicrobial agents and electronics, and are being investigated for use in cancer imaging and drug delivery.

Collaboration With Institute of Oslo University Hospital Will Leverage AI for Novel Tumor Biology Insights
HAMBURG, Germany, May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Indivumed GmbH ( Indivumed ) today announced a joint research collaboration to expand IndivuType by adding digital pathology images and data using cutting-edge technology from the Institute for Cancer Genetics and Informatics ( ICGI ) at Oslo University Hospital, a world leader in the application of Deep Learning and AI in oncology.
By scanning high resolution images of haematoxylin and eosin-stained tumor section slides for all IndivuType cases, Indivumed will be able to leverage an entirely new dimension of data in the coming months. The expansion of IndivuType s digital pathology asset and analysis capacity will allow Indivumed and ICGI to combine the cancer phenotype, as defined by the tumor morphology, with the deep molecular multi-omics characterization of the tumor, resulting in better prognostic and diagnostic algorithm
