Nanotechnology cures cancer! Well, it might...

Abstract:
Drup molecules not only have to be effective at treating disease, they also have to be robust enough to get from the place where they enter the body to the place where they are designed to act. Given that bodies devote a lot of effort to hunting down and destroying things that are in the wrong place—whether those things be molecules, viruses, bacteria or even errant body cells—designing drugs that can do this is no mean feat.
