The Role of Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery Systems

Abstract

Nanotechnology has revolutionized the field of drug delivery, offering targeted, efficient, and controlled release of therapeutic agents. By employing nanocarriers such as liposomes, dendrimers, and nanoparticles, drugs can be delivered directly to diseased cells, reducing side effects and enhancing bioavailability. This paper explores the mechanisms, materials, and clinical advancements in nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems. It emphasizes how nanoscale materials can overcome biological barriers, enhance pharmacokinetics, and support personalized medicine approaches. The study also discusses regulatory challenges and future prospects in this evolving field.
