GlossaryBiodegradable Nanoparticles

tiny particles that safely break down in the body

Biodegradable nanoparticles are tiny particles, often made from natural or synthetic materials, that can break down safely within the body. They are used in medicine to deliver drugs directly to specific cells or tissues, minimizing side effects and improving treatment effectiveness. These particles degrade over time, reducing the risk of long-term accumulation in the body.
