Nanostructured materials have emerged as a pivotal component in the development of targeted
drug delivery systems, enhancing the precision and effectiveness of treatments while minimizing
side effects. These materials, owing to their unique properties such as high surface area, tunable
size, and ability to be functionalized, are being increasingly utilized in various biomedical
applications. This paper explores recent advancements in nanostructured materials used in drug
delivery systems, with a focus on innovations in targeted therapy. By investigating different
nanomaterials, including liposomes, dendrimers, and polymeric nanoparticles, the paper
highlights the strategies utilized to achieve targeted drug release, overcome biological barriers,
and improve patient outcomes in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and
cardiovascular disorders.
