How diseases can be targeted using nanotechnology – and why it’s difficult
“Scientists are designing materials that are a thousand times smaller than the width of a hair.
Known as nanomaterials or nanoparticles, some could help treat diseases.
However, the engineering of particles for biomedical applications remains challenging, particularly when moving from the test tube to biological environments.
This is an issue we discussed in a recent paper. A nanoparticle in the lab is one thing, but a nanoparticle interacting with blood, cells and tissues is another, and the behaviour of particles can change considerably when moving from one environment to another.
“Bio-nano interactions” are what govern these changes in behaviour, and this is a research area with plenty of difficulties, but also significant rewards…”

A twenty year study does not require many researchers.
Jon Wayne Yes it does.
Wasim Muklashy or maybe a lab facilities work is more important
Jon Wayne I’m assuming these studies were done in a lab not in someone’s basement.
That’s correct
