How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Combination Therapies?
Nanotechnology enhances combination therapies through several mechanisms:
Targeted Delivery:Nanoparticles can be engineered to target specific cells or tissues, improving the concentration of therapeutic agents at the disease site. Controlled Release: Nanocarriers can be designed to release drugs in a controlled manner, improving the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the therapy. Reduced Side Effects: Targeted delivery and controlled release minimize the exposure of healthy tissues to toxic drugs, reducing side effects.
