Nano-based therapies work through various mechanisms:
Targeted drug delivery: Nanoparticles can be designed to home in on inflamed tissues, ensuring that the anti-inflammatory drugs are released precisely where needed. Enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect: This phenomenon allows nanoparticles to accumulate more in inflamed tissues due to their leaky vasculature. Controlled release: Nanoparticles can be engineered to release their payload over a specific period, maintaining therapeutic levels of the drug.
