Chemists create 'Superbowl' molecule; May lead to better health
... molecule is capable of delivering a wide range of drugs ?from painkillers to chemotherapy cocktails ?to specific areas of the body, potentially resulting in improved treatment outcomes and perhaps saving lives, the researchers say.
