Why is Immune System Evasion Important in Nanotechnology?
When nanoparticles enter the body, the immune system often perceives them as foreign invaders. This can lead to rapid clearance by phagocytic cells, reducing the effectiveness of the nanoparticles. Successful evasion of the immune system allows nanoparticles to circulate longer in the bloodstream, reach their targets, and perform their intended functions more effectively.
