Nano-Drug Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapy: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: John Smith, Emily Johnson, Michael Brown, Sarah Davis
Nano-drug delivery systems (NDDS) have emerged as a promising approach for cancer therapy, offering enhanced drug solubility, targeted delivery, and reduced systemic toxicity. This comprehensive review examines the latest advancements in NDDS, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and inorganic nanoparticles. We discuss the principles of passive and active targeting, the role of the tumor microenvironment, and the challenges of clinical translation. Key findings highlight the potential of NDDS to improve therapeutic efficacy and patient outcomes, while emphasizing the need for further research on long-term safety and scalability. This review provides a critical analysis of current strategies and future directions in the field.
