Xu and his team used extracellular vesicles to target DR5 because these nano-sized capsules—about a million times smaller than a T cell—are naturally produced and secreted by virtually all cells.

Clearly, this represents some remarkably small units. Professor Kazunori Kataoka is working to create nano-capsules on the atomic and molecular levels, and to establish drug delivery systems (DDS) and ...

Researchers at Penn Medicine created an innovative cancer treatment using nano-sized capsules that can target and trigger cancer cell self-destruction.

Apparently the nano-capsule technology features special chemical groups that are able to re-orient themselves in the event that a surface with this compound is scratched. The potential automotive ...
