  The paper: http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nnano.2016.137.html http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nnano... Anybody know when/if this type of treatment could be used? At the earliest a decade. Effectiveness of the treatment wasn't evaluated. Just the delivery mechanism. This things are kind of a toss up, because this isn't a drug per say, but a delivery method. It's pretty cutting edge tech. But if the right $$$ is behind it potentially see us in 5-10 years. But this would cost a load, and require a lot more researches be involved. This is before we even get to human trials. Generally a drug/therapy isn't going to make it to market until the research teams spins off, or joins a bio-med startup. Then its 3-5 years away. Bio-med startups normally front the huge testing costs, then simply sell the patent+FDA approved drug to a large phrama firm for a HUGE pay off.
