What Are the Current Challenges in Using Nanotechnology for Emphysema?
Despite the potential benefits, there are several challenges in applying nanotechnology to the treatment of emphysema. One major issue is the biocompatibility of nanomaterials, as some nanoparticles may cause immune responses or toxicity. Additionally, the long-term stability and functionality of nanomaterials within the human body need to be thoroughly investigated. Regulatory hurdles and the high cost of developing nanotechnology-based treatments also pose significant challenges.
