In this 'Peek Behind the Paper' feature, we take a look behind the scenes of a recent Special Report from the journal Nanomedicine entitled, 'Safety considerations for nanoparticle gene delivery in pediatric brain tumors'. Here, we ask co-corresponding author of the study, Eric Jackson (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, MD, USA), to provide us with an overview of what is discussed in this article. Additionally, Eric discusses what characteristics and behaviors of nanoparticles make them potentially dangerous to pediatric patients and provides his thoughts on where the field should head next. Please can you introduce yourself and explain what...
