Mimicking biological complexity, in a tiny particle

Tuesday, August 16, 2011 - 11:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Tiny particles made of polymers hold great promise for targeted delivery of drugs and as structural scaffolds for building artificial tissues. However, current production methods for such microparticles yield a limited array of shapes and can only be made with certain materials, restricting their usefulness. New technology could lead to better drug delivery and artificial tissues that imitate natural tissue.
