Can Nanotechnology help overcome drug resistance in TB?
Yes, Nanotechnology holds potential in overcoming drug resistance. By employing nanocomposites and other nano-based materials, we can design multifunctional drug delivery systems that target drug-resistant TB strains. These systems can co-deliver multiple drugs or combine therapeutic agents with diagnostic capabilities, known as theranostics. This approach allows for real-time monitoring of treatment efficacy and adjusting therapy as needed.
