Small-Sized Co-Polymers for Targeted Delivery of Multiple Imaging and Therapeutic Agents

Research has increasingly focused on the delivery of high, often excessive amounts of drugs, neglecting negative aspects of the carrier’s physical preconditions and biocompatibility. Among them, little attention has been paid to “small but beautiful” design of vehicle and multiple cargo to achieve e...
