COVER STORY World of Nano-Particles for Medical Innovation |
| With the accumulated knowledge in behavior of various materials in vivo,
nano-particles have been attracting attention due to their ability
to control bio-distribution of drugs or genes. Based on this nano-particle
technologies, a new field, ‘nano-medicine’, that provides new therapeutic
tools against intractable diseases, has been established. To create
desired nano-particle, there are many factors have to be considered
such as particle size, surface properties, targeting strategies against
target cell or organ, and strategies regulating intra-cellular behavior.
This special issue covers various designs and applications of such
nano-particles for medical innovation. This feature is in collaboration
with the polymer frontier program. （Editors : KATAYAMA, AKIYOSHI,
