Bone Repair: Osteotropic Therapy via Targeted Layer‐by‐Layer Nanoparticles (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 6/2014)

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Nanomedicine that can target bone tissue for disease treatment is designed by P. Hammond and team on page 867 by modifying the surface of therapeutic-containing particles with nanolayers of a polymer decorated with moieties that specifically bind boney regions. In this way, drug therapies can be directed to diseased bone tissue for improved treatment outcomes. LbL on nanoparticles is a versatile platform for tuning tissue specificity and therapeutic efficacy, in a controlled manner, one layer at a time.
