What are Nanoparticles and Their Role in Medicine?
Nanoparticles are particles between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. In medicine, they can be used to deliver drugs directly to affected cells, which minimizes side effects and improves the efficacy of the treatment. For example, liposomes are a type of nanoparticle that can encapsulate drugs and release them at specific sites in the body.
