Core Tip

Core Tip: Nanosciences have currently boosted the development of various disciplines, including pharmaceutical sciences. Theoretically, nanosciences should be involved in pharmaceutical education, in order to cultivate pharmaceutical talents familiar with nanosciences. However, the current courses on nanoscience are insufficient in pharmaceutical curricula, and only a few studies on this topic are documented in databases. It seems that this field is rarely exploited. We therefore urge investigators and educators to perform more studies, and include nanosciences in pharmaceutical education.
