Differences in the cellular environment (acidity and metabolism) affect the solubility of metal oxides, in the present example copper oxide (CuO). The researchers hypothesized that plating the oxide with iron atoms could provide a therapeutic window to fight cancer. This means a release rate that is fast enough to target the cancer cells, but one that slows down significantly in healthy cells.
