Covid-19 vaccine success bolsters nanoparticle drug delivery research

Pharmaceutical Technology

With early nanoparticle studies, researchers often found the human body’s innate immune response to drugs and the short-lasting effects of drugs challenging, as they can also reduce a drug’s efficacy. Liposomes have the same function as lipid nanoparticles in drug delivery but have a simpler formulation.
