Size-Adjustable Nano-Drug Delivery Systems for Enhanced Tumor Retention and Penetration

Abstract Over the past decades, nano-drug delivery systems have shown great potential in improving tumor treatment. And the controllability and design flexibility of nanoparticles endow them a broad development space. The particle size is one of the most important factors affecting the potency of na...
