Drug delivery methods that use targeted polymeric nanoparticles have the potential to increase local concentrations of a drug while reducing off-target accumulation. To best achieve this goal, Saltzman and colleagues argue that a holistic approach should be taken, in which anatomical, molecular and temporal aspects of the nanoparticle, drug and disease are taken into consideration.
