2. Nanoparticle drug delivery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticle_drug_delivery

   Nanoparticle drug delivery systems are engineered technologies that use nanoparticles for the targeted delivery and controlled release of therapeutic agents. The modern form of a drug delivery system should minimize side-effects and reduce both dosage and dosage frequency. Recently, nanoparticles have aroused attention due to their potential ...

3. Nanoparticles for drug delivery to the brain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticles_for_drug...

   This was a huge breakthrough in the nanoparticle drug delivery field, and it helped advance research and development toward clinical trials of nanoparticle delivery systems. Nanoparticles range in size from 10 - 1000 nm (or 1 μm) and they can be made from natural or artificial polymers, lipids, dendrimers, and micelles. [1] [5] Most polymers ...

4. Magnetic nanoparticles in drug delivery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_nanoparticles_in...

   Other potential applications of magnetic nanoparticles are brain imaging and drug delivery past the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using biodegradable magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. The scope of this application is the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders by functioning as contrast agents and drug carriers.

5. Nanocarrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocarrier

   Nanocarriers are useful in the drug delivery process because they can deliver drugs to site-specific targets, allowing drugs to be delivered in certain organs or cells but not in others. Site-specificity is a major therapeutic benefit as it prevents drugs from being delivered to the wrong places.

6. Dextran drug delivery systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dextran_drug_delivery_systems

   Dextran conjugates are also utilized in nanoparticle drug delivery system formulations. Nanoparticles composted of dextran and stearic acid with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating can be loaded with antiviral drugs and be effectively internalized by cells. This nanosystem has the advantages of providing protection against immune responses and ...

7. Nanomedicine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomedicine

   Another system of drug delivery involving nanoparticles is the use of aquasomes, self-assembled nanoparticles with a nanocrystalline center, a coating made of a polyhydroxyl oligomer, covered in the desired drug, which protects it from dehydration and conformational change.
