Summary

This review provides a strategic analysis of nanomedicine for drug delivery, highlighting its promise for targeted treatments but also its challenges around safety, cost, and regulation. While not focused on microplastics directly, nanomedicine research shares relevant technology for understanding how nano-sized particles, including nanoplastics, interact with human cells and tissues. The review emphasizes that more research is needed on the biological effects of nanoparticles in the body.

Nanomedicine holds substantial promise in driving medical innovation. However, successful clinical translation requires addressing safety, cost, and regulatory challenges. Interdisciplinary collaboration and comprehensive strategic planning are crucial for the safe and effective application of nanomedicine.
