targeted delivery

What are the Mechanisms of Targeted Delivery?

There are two main mechanisms for targeted delivery using nanoparticles:
Passive Targeting: This exploits the unique characteristics of the target tissue, such as the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect in tumors, to accumulate nanoparticles at the desired site.
Active Targeting: This involves functionalizing nanoparticles with molecules that specifically bind to receptors on the target cells, ensuring precise delivery.
