What are the Common Challenges in Enhancing Biocompatibility?
Despite significant advancements, several challenges remain in enhancing biocompatibility:
Immune Response: Nanomaterials can be recognized as foreign by the immune system, leading to inflammation and rejection. Toxicity: Certain nanomaterials may release toxic ions or generate reactive oxygen species, causing cellular damage. Long-term Stability: Ensuring that nanomaterials remain stable and functional over extended periods is critical for chronic applications.
