What is the general size range of nanoparticles used in nanomedicine?
A) 1cm to 10cm
B) 100nm to 1000nm
C) 1nm to 100nm
D) 1mm to 10mm
C) 1 nm to 100 nm
Nanoparticles smaller than 100 nm are generally more effective at crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier
True
What were the Two Targeting Approaches Mentioned?
Passive Targeting
Active Targeting
Which of these is NOT listed as a type of nanomaterial used in healthcare?
A) Liposomes B) Polymeric Nanoparticles C) Inorganic Nanoparticles D) Viral Particles
D) Viral Particles
The Zeta potential is a key property that primarily influences the nanoparticle's ability to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs.
False
The Zeta potential (surface charge) primarily influences stability (preventing aggregation). Drug loading depends on polymer architecture.
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven nanomedicine?
Future nanoparticles that are expected to be more biodegradable, less immunogenic, and guided by this technology for personalized therapy.
What is listed as one of the major disadvantages of nanoparticles in drug delivery?
A) Improved Bioavailability B) Reduced Toxicity C) Higher Cost D) Targeted Delivery
C) Higher Cost
A major advantage of nanomedicine is the ability to improve the drug's solubility and bioavailability.
