Nanoparticles and their application for respiratory disease; a review

The exponential growth of people suffering from respiratory disease is inevitable and affects the health and life quality of millions of people around the world. Chronic respiratory disease and severe lung infections are main reasons of high Hospitalization and death rates which depends on complex therapeutic strategies. Nowadays, applications of nanotechnology in various fields of medicine such drug-delivery, diagnosis, and medical imaging are becoming lionized. currently Different types of nanoparticles including lipid-based, liposomal, peptide, carbon-based, polymeric, metallic, and magnetic nanoparticles are being used via ligand surface modifications to target specific targets. This article takes a brief look in the role of nanoparticles for therapeutic applications of respiratory disease and recent approaches in this field of study.
