Specificity in nanotechnology is achieved through several techniques:
Surface Functionalization: Modifying the surface of nanoparticles with specific ligands or antibodies that bind to target molecules or cells. Size and Shape Control: Designing nanoparticles with particular sizes and shapes to improve their interaction with specific targets. Magnetic Targeting: Using magnetic fields to guide nanoparticles to specific locations. pH-Sensitive Mechanisms: Engineering nanoparticles to release their payload in response to the pH of the target environment.
