DESCRIPTION

Smart micelles offer great potential in treating pathogenic fungi. They’re roughly the same size as a coronavirus particle, and 1000 times smaller than a human hair, yet newly engineered nanoparticles developed by scientists at the University of South Australia , are punching well above their weight when it comes to treating drug-resistant fungal infections. Created in partnership with Monash...
