Polymer-based nanostructures : medical applications

"Nanotechnology is about small things: medicine usually deals with bigger things - with patients and their diseases. The ultimate goal of all medical sciences is the healing of diseases whenever possible, otherwise the abatement of suffering. The first step of a successful medical treatment is...
