What went wrong
With BIG profits to be made and no initial safety regulations, many companies entered the Nanomedicine industry and created many different types of nanoparticles. Some of them are illustrated below.
Developers were able to customize nanoparticles many different ways. Some of these are illustrated below.
Some special types were used for medical applications.
Researchers experimented with different types of nanoparticles to target cancer cells.
Gold nanoparticles seemed to work well for targeted drug delivery applications.
Scientists experimented with a variety of external stimuli to trigger the release of drugs inside of gold nanoparticles.
They discovered that an external magnetic field can be used to trigger the release of the payload (the drug inside of the nanoparticle) after injection into the body of the patient.
The researchers came up with a variety of external stimuli that can be used to trigger the release of the drug inside of the nanoparticles at different rates.
