What Types of Nanoparticles Are Used for Stratum Corneum Penetration?
Several types of nanoparticles are used to enhance stratum corneum penetration, including:
1. Liposomes: These are lipid-based vesicles that can encapsulate therapeutic agents. 2. Solid Lipid Nanoparticles: These are composed of solid lipids, offering a stable delivery system. 3. Polymeric Nanoparticles: Made from biocompatible polymers, these nanoparticles can be tailored for controlled release. 4. Metallic Nanoparticles: Such as gold or silver nanoparticles, which can be functionalized for specific applications.
