Why is it in News?
- Researchers are using Nanomicelles – nanoparticles for cancer treatment.
Details:
- Nanomicelles:
(1) These are extremely small structures and being used as targeted therapy.
(2) These are less than 100nm size and stable at room temperature.
(3) These globe-like structures with hydrophilic outer shell and hydrophobic interior.
(4) This dual property makes them efficient in drug delivery.
(5) Cancer treatment needs targeted therapy with destruction of cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
