Did you mean Polymeric Nanoparticles?

GlossaryPolymeric Nanoparticles

tiny polymer-based particles used for targeted drug delivery

Polymeric Nanoparticles (often abbreviated as Polymeric NPs) are tiny particles made from polymers, which are large molecules composed of repeating subunits. These nanoparticles are typically less than 1,000 nanometers in size and can be engineered to deliver drugs, genes, or other therapeutic agents directly to specific cells or tissues in the body. This targeted delivery system can improve the efficacy and reduce the side effects of treatments, making them particularly useful in medical applications, including treatments for conditions like alopecia.
