Several types of nanocarriers are commonly used in targeted therapy:
1. Liposomes: Spherical vesicles that can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. 2. Dendrimers: Highly branched, tree-like structures that can conjugate multiple drug molecules. 3. Polymeric Nanoparticles: Made from biodegradable polymers for controlled drug release. 4. Gold Nanoparticles: Used for both imaging and therapeutic purposes due to their unique optical properties.
