• addition to the hydrophilicity conferred by the carbohydrate moiety, specific targeting may be result from coating nanoparticles with oligo- or polysaccharide chains since the carbohydrate moieties play an essential role in molecular recognition processes. Although the carbohydrate ligands occur naturally
