What Types of Nanomaterials are Used in Inflammation Therapy?
Several types of nanomaterials are used in inflammation therapy, including:
1. Lipid-based Nanoparticles: Such as liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles, which can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. 2. Polymeric Nanoparticles: These can be tailored for desired drug release profiles and can protect drugs from degradation. 3. Metallic Nanoparticles: Such as gold and silver nanoparticles, which possess anti-inflammatory properties and can be used for both therapy and imaging.
