What Types of Nanomaterials Are Used in Personalized Medicine?
Several types of nanomaterials are employed in personalized treatments, including:
Liposomes: Spherical vesicles that can carry both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Dendrimers: Branched, tree-like structures that offer multiple attachment points for drugs and targeting molecules. Gold Nanoparticles: Used for imaging and as carriers for drug delivery. Quantum Dots: Semiconductor nanoparticles used for bio-imaging and diagnostics. Polymeric Nanoparticles: Biodegradable particles that can be tailored for controlled drug release.
