Applications of nanoscale drugs carriers in the treatment of chronic diseases (original) (raw)

Nanostructures for Novel Therapy, 2017

Abstract

Nanomedicine plays an important role in the medical field for applications as drug delivery and diagnosis. The requirement for the development of multiple systems, which can precisely and specifically deliver the pharmaceutical agent into the desired site, has increased over the last decade. These systems have a great impact in medical fields, such as oncology, cardiology, and immunology. In this regard, smart drug delivery systems with response to stimuli, such as pH, temperature, light, ultrasounds, electrical, and magnetical fields have been developed. Many nanoparticles have been investigated for drug targeting as nanocarriers, including gold NPs, silver NPs, magnetic NPs, quantum dots, and mesoporous silica NPs.
