Nanotechnology for protein delivery: Overview and perspectives

Nanotechnology for Drug Delivery: An Overview

Nanotechnology is expected to have a revolutionary impact on biology and medicine. In this paper, I will discuss the role of nanotechnology in development of site-specific drug delivery systems. Polymeric nanoparticles, lipid nanosystems, and self-assembling nanosystems are described with special emphasis on targeted drug delivery in cancer therapy.

Nanotechnology Applications for Drug Delivery

I 1 Nanotechnology is somewhat of a ‘catch-all’ term used to describe a wide range of enabling technologies focussed at the level of atoms and molecules, and is applicable to many different industry sectors.The design, production and application of structures at the 0.1–100 nm scale reaches across industries as diverse as the electronics, environmental, materials and healthcare sectors. Not sur...

Protein Nanoparticle as a Versatile Drug Delivery System in Nanotechnology

Protein nanoparticles are extensively investigated as versatile drug delivery systems, due to their nanoscale size, container-like shape, natural source, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. They provide three distinct interfaces: internal, external, and inter-subunit interfaces for modifications. Chemistry and genetic engineering provide powerful tools to functionalize protein nanoparticles...
