2. Nanovectors for drugs

Drug delivery [NM 4 010] is a very active field of research and application at the crossroads of nanotechnology and pharmacology. It involves the functionalization of nano-objects (micelles, liposomes, fullerenes, nanotubes, nanoshells, magnetic nanoparticles, dentrites, virus capsids, etc.) to deliver an active principle (drug molecule, gene, protein, antibody, or physical mode of action, etc.) in a targeted manner and release it in a controlled manner at its site of action (organ, tissue cell, receptor, etc.).

The main aim of targeted delivery systems...
