The Role of Nanotechnology in Next-Generation Drug Delivery Systems

Abstract

Nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine by enabling targeted drug delivery systems that improve treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects. This paper explores the latest advancements in nanomedicine, including nanoparticle-based drug carriers, liposomes, and polymeric nanomaterials. Case studies on cancer therapy, neurodegenerative disease treatment, and vaccine development illustrate the potential of nanotechnology in personalized medicine. The research also addresses challenges such as biocompatibility, regulatory approval, and large-scale production. Findings suggest that nanotechnology-driven drug delivery systems could significantly improve patient outcomes and reshape the pharmaceutical industry.
