Nanotechnology enhances drug screening in several ways:
1. Enhanced Sensitivity: Nanoscale sensors can detect minute quantities of biological markers, making it possible to identify potential drug candidates at very low concentrations. 2. High-Throughput Screening: Nanotechnology allows for the miniaturization and automation of screening processes, enabling the analysis of thousands of compounds simultaneously. 3. Targeted Delivery: Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver drugs directly to specific cells or tissues, improving the precision of screening assays. 4. Real-Time Monitoring: Nanosensors can provide real-time feedback on the biological activity of compounds, facilitating more dynamic and responsive screening processes.
