Course set to overcome mismatch between lab-designed nanomaterials and nature`s complexity
(PHYSorg.com Nanotechnology)

Cells and the machinery they encase are soft matter-shape-shifting multicomponent systems with an overwhelming richness of forms. But, these squishy packages are hard targets for potential therapeutic and diagnostic applications that exploit nanomaterials, from quantum dots that light up specific tissues to nanocages carrying drug payloads.
