Brief project overview
Biodegradable nanoparticles delivering cancer therapy specifically to prostate tumors via binding to a receptor specific to those cells. Will talk about applying this procedure to other types of cancer cells and other cells in general - for instance, treating autoimmune disease victims with a nanoparticle bound to EGF that specifically targets bone marrrow.
