How Does Nanotechnology Reduce Side Effects in Medicine?
One of the most promising applications of nanotechnology is in the field of medicine. Traditional drug delivery systems can cause various side effects as drugs often affect healthy tissues along with diseased ones. However, nanotechnology allows for the development of targeted drug delivery systems. These nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver drugs directly to specific cells, such as cancer cells, thereby minimizing the impact on healthy tissues and reducing overall side effects.
