Nanobiotechnology, at the intersection of nanotechnology and biology, represents a burgeoning field poised to revolutionize medicine through the use of advanced nanocarriers. These nanocarriers, endowed with distinctive physiobiological attributes, are instrumental in diverse therapeutic domains including drug delivery for microbial infections, cancer treatment, tissue engineering, immunotherapy, and gene therapy. Despite the transformative potential, several challenges hinder their efficacy, such as limited drug capacity, suboptimal targeting, and poor solubility. This review delves into the latest advancements in nanocarrier technologies, examining their properties, associated limitations, and the innovative solutions developed to address these issues. It highlights promising nanocarrier systems like nanocomposites, micelles, hydrogels, microneedles, and artificial cells that employ advanced conjugation techniques, sustained and stimulus-responsive release mechanisms, and enhanced solubility. By exploring these novel structures and their contributions to overcoming existing barriers, the article emphasizes the vital role of interdisciplinary research in advancing nanobiotechnology. This field offers unparalleled opportunities for precise and effective therapeutic delivery, underscoring its potential to reshape healthcare through personalized, targeted treatments and improved drug performance.
纳米生物技术处于纳米技术与生物学的交叉领域,是一个蓬勃发展的领域,有望通过使用先进的纳米载体彻底改变医学。这些纳米载体具有独特的生理生物学特性,在包括微生物感染的药物递送、癌症治疗、组织工程、免疫疗法和基因治疗等多种治疗领域发挥着重要作用。尽管具有变革潜力,但仍有几个挑战阻碍了它们的疗效,如载药量有限、靶向性欠佳和溶解性差。本综述深入探讨了纳米载体技术的最新进展,研究了它们的特性、相关局限性以及为解决这些问题而开发的创新解决方案。它重点介绍了有前景的纳米载体系统,如纳米复合材料、胶束、水凝胶、微针和人工细胞,这些系统采用了先进的共轭技术、持续和刺激响应释放机制以及增强的溶解性。通过探索这些新颖的结构及其对克服现有障碍的贡献,本文强调了跨学科研究在推进纳米生物技术方面的关键作用。该领域为精确有效的治疗递送提供了无与伦比的机会,突显了其通过个性化、靶向治疗和改善药物性能重塑医疗保健的潜力。
