Readers will discover how nanoparticles are used to:
- Diagnose diseases like Alzheimer’s using biomarkers.
- Deliver medication directly to hard-to-reach areas like the brain or inside tumors.
- Improve cancer treatments by reducing side effects and protecting healthy cells.
- Boost immunity, including how they helped deliver the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine.
- Regrow bone and blood cells through regenerative medicine.
- Prevent organ rejection in transplants and improve eye treatments.
