What Are the Challenges in Nanoparticle Drug Delivery?
Despite its potential, nanoparticle drug delivery faces several challenges: 1. Biocompatibility: Ensuring that nanoparticles are biocompatible and do not induce adverse immune responses is critical. 2. Stability: Nanoparticles must be stable in the bloodstream to reach their target without premature release of their payload. 3. Scalability: Manufacturing nanoparticles consistently and at scale remains a challenge. 4. Regulatory Hurdles: Obtaining regulatory approval for new nanoparticle-based therapies can be complex and time-consuming.
