The application of nanotechnology in pharmaceutical sciences has opened a new frontier in targeted drug delivery, known as nanomedicine. This interdisciplinary field combines engineering, materials science, and molecular biology to design carriers that deliver drugs directly to diseased tissues, thereby increasing efficacy and reducing systemic side effects. The unique properties of nanoparticles, such as high surface area-to-volume ratio and tunable surface chemistry, enable them to bypass biological barriers and release drugs at controlled rates.
