SCP-Nano: New technology visualizes nanocarriers in cells and tissues

How can we ensure that life-saving drugs or genetic therapies reach their intended target cells without causing harmful side effects? Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) and Technical University Munich (TUM) have developed a method that, for the first time, enables the precise detection of nanocarriers—tiny transport vehicles—throughout the entire mouse body at a single-cell level.
