How Do Smart Nanoparticles Work in Cancer Therapy?
Smart nanoparticles can be functionalized with targeting ligands that recognize and bind to specific biomarkers on cancer cells. These nanoparticles can then deliver therapeutic agents directly to the tumor site, minimizing damage to healthy tissues. They can also be designed to release their payload in response to specific stimuli, such as pH changes, temperature, or enzymes found in the tumor microenvironment.
