What Role Does Nanotechnology Play in Treating Tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis treatment typically involves a lengthy course of multiple antibiotics, which can lead to drug resistance and patient non-compliance. Nanotechnology can enhance TB treatment by developing nanoformulations of existing drugs, which improve their bioavailability and reduce side effects. For instance, liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles can be used to encapsulate anti-TB drugs, ensuring targeted delivery to the infected cells and tissues.
