Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as a revolutionary tool in modern medicine, particularly in drug delivery and targeted therapeutics. By utilizing nanoscale materials, researchers have developed drug carriers that enhance bioavailability, reduce toxicity, and improve therapeutic outcomes. Nanoparticles, liposomes, and polymeric micelles enable site-specific drug delivery, reducing adverse effects and increasing treatment efficacy. Additionally, functionalized nanoparticles can navigate biological barriers, allowing for precise delivery to diseased tissues. Recent advancements in nanomedicine include smart drug delivery systems, controlled release mechanisms, and the integration of nanotechnology with personalized medicine. Despite significant progress, challenges such as nanoparticle toxicity, scalability, and regulatory hurdles must be addressed to ensure the safe and effective clinical translation of nanomedicine. The future of nanotechnology in medicine holds promise for improving patient outcomes and revolutionizing therapeutic strategies.
