Abstract

The applications of nanotechnology in biomedicine have gained considerable attentions in recent years owing to the great enhancement of therapeutic efficiency. Integration of self-assembly into nanotechnology has brought tremendous convenience during the formation of nano-carriers. Based on distinctive methods of self-assembly, nano-therapeutics have been developed to an impressive stage with the ability to perform site-specific delivery with temporal and spatial control. This review focuses on the recent advances in the preparing methods for nano-therapeutics, and their applications in the treatments of diseases.
