What Types of Nanoparticles Are Used in Cancer Prevention?
Several types of nanoparticles are being explored for cancer prevention, including:
Gold nanoparticles: These are used for imaging and as carriers for drugs and other therapeutic agents. Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles that can encapsulate drugs, improving their solubility and stability. Polymeric nanoparticles: Made from biodegradable polymers, these nanoparticles can deliver drugs in a controlled manner. Dendrimers: These are highly branched, tree-like structures that can carry multiple drug molecules, targeting agents, or diagnostic agents.
