The Future of Nanomedicine in Veterinary Science

Prince Pandey

Abstract


Nanomedicine is a new and emerging field that will not only change the way veterinary medicine is practiced but will also enhance present medications and sickness detection. Nanomedicine has been linked to target-specific medication delivery using nanoparticle formulations such as liposomes, SLNs, and fullerenes. It is the use of nanotechnology to develop quicker and more effective disease management solutions by working on a nanoscale and producing target-oriented effects. Certain nanoparticles are also being eyed as a possible adjuvant, with the potential to improve antigen presentation efficacy and extend immunization durability. As a result, this research work will give a glimpse of the likely future of nanomedicine in veterinary research and keep veterinarians up to date on the new technology.
