What Are Some Clinical Applications of Surface-Modified Nanoparticles?
Surface-modified nanoparticles have shown promise in various clinical applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and gene therapy. For example, liposomes modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) have been used to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs like doxorubicin more effectively. Similarly, gold nanoparticles modified with targeting ligands are being explored for their potential in photothermal therapy and imaging.
