 I highly recommend reading about Nanoparticles in cancer targeting therapies. This was posted in GEN (Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News) Many Stock Ideas here. I will post more on each company soon. This is the future of Biotechnology.

Nanotechnology Enables Precise Cancer Targeting
Patricia F. Dimond, Ph.D.

Second-generation nanotherapeutics to treat cancer have drawn attention and funding as companies move to improve the efficacy of these treatments and expand their applications.
