Can Nanotechnology Overcome Multi-Drug Resistance?
Multi-drug resistance (MDR) is a significant hurdle in effective cancer treatment. Nanotechnology offers potential solutions to this problem. Nanocarriers can be used to co-deliver multiple drugs simultaneously, which may help to overcome MDR by attacking cancer cells through different mechanisms. Additionally, nanoparticles can bypass some of the cellular pumps that expel drugs from cancer cells, thereby increasing drug retention and efficacy.
