With sophisticated drug delivery systems, therapies will become increasingly personalized, safe, and effective.
Nanotechnology represents one of the most bold and transformative frontiers of contemporary science, where matter is manipulated and controlled on an infinitesimal scale—the nanometer, one billionth of a meter—offering new perspectives for treating complex diseases such as cancer, as well as inflammatory, infectious, and degenerative conditions. Thanks to advanced drug delivery systems, the future of pharmacological therapy is set to become ever more personalized, safe, and effective.
Delivering the drug only where it is needed
Advancements in smart nanomaterials are revolutionizing drug delivery through carriers capable of selectively targeting diseased tissues while minimizing side effects. Within the THE – Tuscany Health Ecosystem project, researchers and technologists are developing nanoparticles designed to transport active compounds with absolute precision, overcoming the body’s physiological barriers and releasing the drug only at the target site.
