What are Some Applications of Precision Targeting?
Precision targeting has numerous applications in medicine. In oncology, it is used to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to cancer cells, reducing the side effects commonly associated with traditional chemotherapy. In neurology, nanoparticles can be designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and deliver drugs to treat conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Precision targeting is also used in diagnostic imaging, where nanoparticles can enhance the contrast of images, making it easier to detect abnormalities.
