Nanotechnology in Modern Medicine: A Revolutionary Approach to Targeted Drug Delivery

Abstract

Nanotechnology has revolutionized modern medicine by enabling highly precise and efficient targeted drug delivery systems. This paper explores the recent advancements in Nano carrier design, including liposomes, dendrimers, polymeric nanoparticles, and metallic nanostructures, which facilitate controlled release and improved bioavailability of therapeutic agents. By focusing on targeted delivery, these nanotechnologies minimize systemic toxicity and enhance treatment efficacy, particularly in cancer, infectious diseases, and chronic conditions. The review also discusses the challenges related to biocompatibility, safety, and clinical translation of Nano medicines, emphasizing the need for standardized protocols and regulatory frameworks. Future prospects highlight the integration of nanotechnology with personalized medicine and smart delivery systems, promising to transform healthcare through more effective, less invasive treatments. This paper underscores the transformative potential of nanotechnology as a cornerstone in the evolution of targeted therapeutics.
