How Do Bioengineers Use Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery?
One of the most promising applications of nanotechnology in bioengineering is in the development of advanced drug delivery systems. Bioengineers design nanoparticles that can deliver drugs directly to targeted cells, reducing side effects and improving therapeutic efficacy. These nanoparticles can be engineered to release drugs in response to specific biological triggers, such as pH changes or the presence of certain enzymes.
