... introduced theranostic nanoparticles and described strategies being developed to improve their tissue penetration and targeting capabilities. He explained that, although many nanoparticles being tested in preclinical studies include a targeting agent to confer specificity for a disease site while minimizing toxicity in healthy tissues, these benefits are not always realized in practice.
