Fluorescent Nanoparticles of Specific Sizes Created to Study Tumour Drug Absorption

Nanoparticles play a significant role in the development of future diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for tumors, for example as transporters for drugs or as contrast agents. Absorption and dispersion of nanoparticles in tumor tissue depend strongly on particle size. In order to systematically study this, scientists have now produced a set of fluorescent nanoparticles of various diameters between 10 and 150 nm.
