Nanoparticles for cancer drug delivery

News: Nano-medicine    November 4, 2009
You’re going to see many stories of drug delivery methods using nanotechnology. Some methods are still quite theoretical; others have already reached the testing stage in animals. Note, however, that so far none have been given the green light for human testing, which says something about the nascent status of the nano-medical field. Much of [...]
