Various types of nanoparticles are used to enhance therapeutic efficiency, including:
Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles that can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, protecting them from degradation. Polymeric Nanoparticles: These are made from biodegradable polymers and can be tailored for controlled drug release. Dendrimers: These are highly branched, tree-like structures that can carry multiple therapeutic agents simultaneously. Gold Nanoparticles: Known for their biocompatibility and easy functionalization, they are often used in cancer therapy and imaging. Quantum Dots: These semiconductor nanoparticles are used for imaging due to their unique optical properties.
