TLDR New nanocarriers improve drug delivery for disease treatment.
The document reviewed recent advances in the structural design of photosensitive agent formulations using "soft" colloidal nanocarriers, such as liposomes, nanoemulsions, and solid lipid nanoparticles. These nanocarriers improved the stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of encapsulated drugs, particularly for skin-related treatments like melanoma, psoriasis, and androgenic alopecia. The review emphasized the benefits of these nanocarriers, including enhanced biocompatibility, controlled release, and better encapsulation efficiency, which are crucial for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. The document underscored the importance of continued research to optimize these formulations for clinical use.
