    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the survey conducted by the Nanodermatology Society (NDS) which shows that more education about nanotechnology is needed as it is poised to change the practice of dermatology. The author notes that even though it holds a broad promise for the practice of dermatology, safety and regulatory issues are still on high concerns of NDS. Adnan Nasir, NDS founder, states that there are significant gaps in knowledge of nanotechnology in the dermatology community. INSET: Targeting melanoma.
