Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer still remains one of the main causes of death in the Western world. New and innovative ways to tackle the disease are needed. Nanoparticle technology has the potential to provide such an opportunity due to the molecular scale and unique properties of nancoscale materials. Nanoparticles can be used to carry chemotherapeutics, peptides, nucleotides; may carry imaging agents; or have intrinsic properties such as radiosensitization. Furthermore, multimodal particles may be able to combine all of these properties to effect localization, monitoring and therapy all from one construct. This Special Issue will highlight the most novel and promising developments in the field.
