The advent of nanomedicines allows a diversity of drugs with unfavorablebiopharmaceutical properties and safety issues to be accessible as pharmaceuticalproducts. The expectations are particularly high in the field of cancer therapeutics, where nanotechnology promises to enhance treatment selectivity, solving or ameliorating off-target toxicity issues. The biocompatible nature of lipid-based nanosystems and their scalable production make them especially auspicious for therapeutic applications.
