What Types of Nanoparticles are Used in Cancer Therapy?
Several types of nanoparticles are used in cancer therapy, including:
Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles that can encapsulate drugs, enhancing their stability and bioavailability. Dendrimers: These are tree-like structures with branches that can carry multiple therapeutic agents. Gold Nanoparticles: These can be used for both diagnosis and treatment, as they can be engineered to target cancer cells and deliver drugs or heat. Quantum Dots: These are semiconductor nanoparticles that can be used for imaging and tracking cancer cells.
