This improves drug efficacy and reduces side effects. In gene therapy, nanoparticles can serve as non-viral vectors to efficiently deliver genetic material (DNA, RNA) into target cells for therapeutic purposes. Both applications are significant areas of focus in nanomedicine research and development.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With reference to the use of nano-technology in health sector, which of the following statements is\/are correct? 1.
