Several types of nanocarriers are used in anticancer drug delivery:
Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles with a lipid bilayer, used to encapsulate drugs, enhancing their stability and bioavailability. Polymeric Nanoparticles: Made from biocompatible polymers, these nanoparticles can be designed for controlled drug release. Dendrimers: Branched, tree-like structures that can carry multiple drug molecules and target cancer cells effectively. Gold Nanoparticles: These particles can be functionalized with various molecules to improve drug targeting and delivery.
