Smart Fat-Based Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery in Hard-to-Treat Biofilm Infections: Progress and Challenges

Updated

Abstract

Stimuli-responsive solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) may enhance biofilm-targeted drug delivery.

  • SLNs are designed to respond to specific stimuli, which may improve the targeting of drugs to biofilm-associated infections.
  • Recent advances in SLN technology could provide new therapeutic options for challenging bacterial infections.
  • The mechanisms by which SLNs operate involve the release of drugs in response to environmental changes.
  • Future research may focus on optimizing SLN formulations for better efficacy in clinical settings.
