Hope for healing: Scientists battle disease using nanotechnology simulating science fiction

The word “breakthrough” is often used when talking about the newest drug or the next treatment in cancer research. But in dozens of university labs and spin-off companies, the phrase “science fiction” might be a better fit. Behind these doors, scientists are spending millions of dollars to engineer tiny particles that deliver drugs to cancerous cells. (Knoxville News Sentinel)
