What are the Challenges in Chemical Signaling with Nanotechnology?
Despite its potential, there are several challenges in utilizing nanotechnology for chemical signaling:
Biocompatibility: Ensuring that nanoparticles do not induce adverse immune responses or toxicity in the body. Targeting Accuracy: Achieving precise targeting of nanoparticles to the desired cells or tissues without affecting healthy cells. Controlled Release: Developing mechanisms for the controlled release of signaling molecules at the right time and place. Scalability: Producing nanomaterials at a scale suitable for clinical or industrial applications.
