  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Nanomaterials for Advanced Biological Applications

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 104))

Abstract

Over recent decades, improving human health is undergoing an eruption of consideration led by the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as platforms for delivering drugs to cells. These NPs can be engineered to accumulate specifically at diseased cells, which allows direct delivering of drugs to target tissue.
