There are several types of nanocarriers used in targeted delivery systems, each with unique properties:
Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles with a phospholipid bilayer, often used to encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Dendrimers: These branched, tree-like structures offer high drug loading capacity and can be functionalized with targeting ligands. Polymeric Nanoparticles: Made from biodegradable polymers, these nanoparticles allow for controlled and sustained drug release. Solid Lipid Nanoparticles: These combine the advantages of liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles, providing a stable matrix for drug delivery.
