There are several types of nanotherapeutics, including:
Liposomal formulations: Liposomes are spherical vesicles composed of lipid bilayers that can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Polymeric nanoparticles: These are made from biodegradable polymers and can be used for controlled and sustained drug release. Dendrimers: Highly branched, tree-like structures that provide a high degree of surface functionality for drug attachment. Metallic nanoparticles: Often used for their unique optical, magnetic, and electronic properties, these can be functionalized for targeted therapy. Carbon nanotubes: Cylindrical nanostructures that can be used for drug delivery and imaging applications.
