				 Nanotechnology has potential to revolutionize diagnosis and therapy of diseases in the central nervous system  through nanotheranostics. This simply states that a nanocarrier can be designed in an ‘all-in-one’ approach to facilitate  both  the  functions  of  a  diagnostic  and  a  therapeutic  drug.  There  are  many  challenges  that  must  be  overcome  for  these nanocarriers to become a successful design, but if resolved nanocarriers could pave the way for personalised  medicine. This review highlights several new ideas behind nanotheranostics design and testing with a particular focus  on cancerous tumours in the brain. .. View More»
