What Are the Applications of Inhalable Nanoparticles?
Inhalable nanoparticles have a wide range of applications, including:
- Drug Delivery: They are used to deliver drugs for treating diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer. - Vaccines: Inhalable nanoparticles can be used for vaccine delivery, offering a needle-free and potentially more effective alternative. - Diagnostics: They can be employed in the detection of respiratory diseases by delivering imaging agents or sensors directly to the lungs. - Gene Therapy: These nanoparticles can be used to deliver genetic material to the lungs, offering potential treatments for genetic disorders.
