In the context of drug delivery, precision guidance involves using various strategies to ensure that nanoparticles carrying therapeutic agents reach the intended target cells or tissues. Some of these strategies include:
Ligand-receptor interactions: Nanoparticles are functionalized with ligands that specifically bind to receptors on the target cells. Magnetic guidance: Magnetic nanoparticles are directed to the target site using an external magnetic field. Ultrasound: Acoustic waves are used to guide nanoparticles to the desired location.
