				 Over  recent  years  advancement  in  nanoparticles  drug  delivery  is  widely  expected  to  change  the  landscape  of  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  industries  for  the  foreseeable  future.  Nanoparticles  are  solid  colloidal  matrix-like  particles made of polymers or lipids. Generally administered by the intravenous route like liposome’s, they have been  developed  for  the  targeted  delivery  of  therapeutic  or  imaging  agents.  Nanomaterials  have  emerged  as  a  promising  strategy in delivering therapeutic molecules effectively to diseased sites. Furthermore, most nonmaterial surfaces can  be decorated with targeting ligands, enhancing their ability to home to diseased tissues through multivalent interactions  with  tissue-specific  receptors. Thus,  targeted  therapy  provides  a  means  to  circumvent  the  toxicities  and  lack  of  treatment  response.. View More»
