Nanocarriers play a pivotal role in the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. These nanostructured vehicles can be engineered to carry drugs, genes, or other therapeutic molecules directly to the diseased cells. The benefits include:
- Improved Bioavailability: Nanocarriers can enhance the solubility and stability of drugs, improving their bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. - Reduced Toxicity: By targeting drugs specifically to diseased cells, nanocarriers help to minimize the adverse effects on healthy tissues. - Controlled Release: Nanocarriers can be designed to release their payload in response to specific stimuli (e.g., pH, temperature), providing controlled and sustained delivery of the therapeutic agents.
