What Are the Challenges in Nanotechnology Applications?
One of the main challenges is the immune response triggered by phagocytic cells. When phagocytic cells engulf nanoparticles, they can initiate an inflammatory response, potentially leading to toxicity. Thus, careful design and surface modification of nanoparticles are required to minimize adverse reactions. Additionally, the biodistribution and biodegradation of nanoparticles must be thoroughly studied to ensure safety and efficacy.
