# Scan nanomedicine literature

1. Define topic, date window, intended decision, inclusion criteria, and evidence hierarchy.
2. Browse current primary sources; use PubMed or publisher records for papers, bioRxiv/medRxiv for preprints, ClinicalTrials.gov for trials, and official patent databases for patents.
3. Search with complementary chemistry, delivery, cargo, tissue, disease, and method terms. Record the query and cutoff date.
4. Triage each result by relevance, evidence type, model, payload, route, novelty, and direct implication for the Li lab.
5. Synthesize by consensus, disagreement, technical bottleneck, and exploitable gap. Do not return a flat paper list unless requested.
6. Verify titles, authors, year, DOI or stable URL, publication state, and retractions. Never fabricate a citation.
7. Separate source-backed findings from inference and strategic recommendation.
