Cancer cells deploy several glucose transport protein (GLUT) channels on the cell membranes to increase glucose uptake. Cancer cells die within 24 h in the absence of glucose. Thus, preventing the deployment of GLUT channels can deprive them of glucose, resulting in apoptosis within 24 h. Herein, we developed the <b>ID-Checker</b> with a glucose tag that ensures its highly specific macroscale delivery of anticancer agents to the cancer cells through the GLUT channels. <b>ID-Checker</b> presented ...[more]
