How Do Nanocarriers Enhance Drug Delivery?

Nanocarriers enhance drug delivery through several mechanisms:
Targeted Delivery: By attaching ligands or antibodies to the surface of nanocarriers, they can specifically bind to receptors on target cells.
Controlled Release: Nanocarriers can be engineered to release drugs in response to specific triggers such as pH, temperature, or enzymes.
Improved Solubility: Many drugs have poor water solubility, but nanocarriers can improve their solubility and bioavailability.
