Covid-19 vaccine success bolsters nanoparticle drug delivery research

Pharmaceutical Technology

The next wave came from early research into liposomes and lipid nanoparticles, both of which are used for drug delivery. Liposomes have the same function as lipid nanoparticles in drug delivery but have a simpler formulation. Lipid nanoparticle drug delivery was in the spotlight during the Covid-19 pandemic.
