Secure nano-carrier delivers medications directly to
cells

Medications often have unwanted side-effects. One
reason is that they reach not only the unhealthy cells for which
they are intended, but also reach and have an impact on healthy
cells. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM),
working together with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in
Stockholm, have developed a stable nano-carrier for medications. A
special mechanism makes sure the drugs are only released in
diseased cells.
