What role do nanoparticles play in drug delivery for cardiovascular diseases?
Drug delivery is one of the most promising applications of nanotechnology in the circulatory system. Nanocarriers such as liposomes, dendrimers, and polymeric nanoparticles can be designed to deliver drugs precisely to the diseased area, minimizing side effects and improving efficacy. These nanocarriers can navigate through the bloodstream and release the drug in a controlled manner, enhancing the treatment of conditions like atherosclerosis and hypertension.
