Designing vectors involves several considerations:
Biocompatibility: Ensuring that the vector does not elicit an adverse immune response. Targeting Ability: Functionalizing the vector with ligands or antibodies that can recognize and bind to specific cell receptors. Stability: Making sure the vector remains stable in the biological environment until it reaches its target. Controlled Release: Engineering the vector to release its cargo in a controlled manner, either through environmental triggers or degradation of the carrier material.
