While the polymer and spray systems stress control and timing, others -- such as those being tested at the Cancer Research Institute of the University of California at San Francisco -- attempt to deliver specific drugs to specific cells. To accomplish this, microscopic bubbles of fat, called liposomes, are filled with a cancer drug and attached to antibodies that have the ability to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells.
