Targeted Nanomedicine- a cartoon showing a representative, targeted stealth nanoparticle as a drug delivery carrier with core-shell structure. A polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating on the nanoparticle surface has shown an improvement in colloidal and storage stability in vitro and circulation half life in vivo along with providing a spacer for the targeting ligand to bind to its cognate biomarker on the cancer cell.
