How Does Nanotechnology Aid in Overcoming Drug Resistance?
Drug resistance, especially in cancer therapy, is a major obstacle. Nanotechnology helps overcome this by enabling multi-drug delivery systems where multiple drugs can be co-delivered in a single nanocarrier. These systems can simultaneously attack different pathways involved in resistance mechanisms. Additionally, nanocarriers can bypass drug efflux pumps and enhance drug accumulation within resistant cells, thereby restoring the efficacy of chemotherapy.
