What Role Do Nanoparticles Play in Treating Diseased Cells?
Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver drugs directly to diseased cells, improving the efficacy of treatments while minimizing side effects. This targeted drug delivery system ensures that therapeutic agents are released in the specific area where they are needed, thus reducing damage to healthy cells. For example, liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles have been widely studied for their ability to carry chemotherapy drugs directly to cancerous tissues.
