Another technology platform with a potential for therapeutic applications is the nanoErythrosome, especially nanoErythrosomes capable of directly targeting and concentrating therapeutic products into tumors. NanoErythrosomes are much smaller than red blood cells, since several thousand nanoErythrosomes will result from the fragmentation of a single red blood cell. This nanovector can then circulate easily in the body.
