How Can Nanotechnology Disrupt the Stratum Corneum?
Lipid-based nanoparticles: These can merge with the lipid bilayers of the stratum corneum, enhancing permeability. Polymeric nanoparticles: These can be designed to interact with the stratum corneum's proteins, enhancing drug penetration. Gold nanoparticles: Due to their small size and surface properties, they can penetrate the stratum corneum and deliver therapeutic agents.
