Abstract :
The efficiency of drug release from polymeric nanoparticles was observed using real-time fluorescence microscopy. The movements of polymeric nanoparicles were controlled by magnetic force as fluorescence imaging of doxorubicin was performed during a 5-day period. This result may be applied to investigations of novel cancer therapy in future.
