Diabetes is a widespread metabolic illness. Mismanagement of diabetes can lead to severe complications that tremendously impact patients' quality of life. The assimilation of nanotechnology in diabetes care holds the potential to revolutionize treatment paradigms, improve patient outcomes, and reduce the economic burden associated with this pervasive disease. This manuscript explores the multifaceted utilization of nanomaterials in diabetes care, emphasizing the unique features of nano-based medication delivery methods and smart drug delivery mechanisms. Additionally, this paper talks about research on nanocarrier-integrated oral, transdermal, and inhalable insulin delivery; dendrimer- and nanocarrier-coupled antisense oligonucleotide-driven gene therapy; the implementation of gold nanoparticles and quantum dots for glucose surveillance; and nucleic acid therapies. There are certain restrictions when using medication delivery methods that are commonly available to handle diabetes. In order to increase efficacy and safety, the rapidly developing science of nanotechnology is also being explored and employed in medical biology. Nanomaterials like liposomes, dendrimers, niosomes, polymeric and metallic nanocarriers, and solid lipid nanoparticles are among the nanocarriers that have been developed for better delivery of various oral hypoglycemic agents in comparison to conventional therapies. These nanocarriers provide great control over elevated blood glucose levels, making them one of the most intriguing and promising technologies available today. Furthermore, adding additional ligands to nanocarriers allows for more focused distribution while protecting the encapsulated hypoglycemic drugs.
糖尿病是一种广泛存在的代谢性疾病。糖尿病管理不善会导致严重并发症,极大地影响患者的生活质量。将纳米技术应用于糖尿病护理有可能彻底改变治疗模式,改善患者预后,并减轻与这种普遍疾病相关的经济负担。本文探讨了纳米材料在糖尿病护理中的多方面应用,强调了基于纳米的药物递送方法和智能药物递送机制的独特特性。此外,本文还讨论了纳米载体整合的口服、透皮和吸入胰岛素递送的研究;树枝状大分子和纳米载体偶联的反义寡核苷酸驱动的基因治疗;金纳米颗粒和量子点在葡萄糖监测中的应用;以及核酸疗法。使用常见的糖尿病药物递送方法存在一定限制。为了提高疗效和安全性,纳米技术这一快速发展的科学也正在医学生物学中得到探索和应用。与传统疗法相比,脂质体、树枝状大分子、非离子表面活性剂泡囊、聚合物和金属纳米载体以及固体脂质纳米粒等纳米材料已被开发用于更好地递送各种口服降糖药。这些纳米载体能很好地控制血糖水平升高,使其成为当今最具吸引力和前景的技术之一。此外,在纳米载体上添加额外的配体可以实现更有针对性的分布,同时保护封装的降糖药物。
