Artificial Intelligence, Biomimetic Nanocarriers, Drug Delivery Systems, Lipid Nanoparticles, Precision Medicine, Theranostic NanoplatformsAbstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative force in modern medicine, revolutionizing how therapeutic agents are designed, delivered, and monitored within the human body. By engineering nanoparticles at the molecular scale, researchers have developed smart drug delivery systems capable of crossing complex biological barriers and achieving targeted, controlled release of therapeutics. Lipid-based nanocarriers, such as liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), have redefined treatment efficiency—most notably demonstrated through the success of mRNA vaccine technologies. Similarly, polymeric, dendrimer, and albumin-based nanosystems provide biocompatible platforms for sustained and site-specific delivery of complex drugs. Inorganic nanomaterials, including gold, magnetic, and silica nanoparticles, add new dimensions through stimuli-responsive and multifunctional capabilities. Recent breakthroughs in crossing the blood–brain barrier, integrating theranostic platforms, and applying artificial intelligence for nanocarrier design further expand the scope of precision medicine. Despite challenges in large-scale production, biocompatibility, and regulatory standardization, nanotechnology continues to reshape therapeutic strategies, offering unprecedented opportunities for personalized, efficient, and minimally invasive healthcare solutions.
