Technology Review covers Mauro Ferrari's work on nanoparticle delivery

Technology Review reports that Ferrari's group have developed a drug delivery method which involves creating silicon disks with pores that can then carry a nanoparticle payload. The silicon disks can transport the payload to a delivery site, such as a tumour, and then begin to break down, releasing nanoparticles into the surrounding cells.

This work was also featured on the cover of the March issue of Nature Nanotechnology.
