Abstract
1. Nanobiotechnologies have recently attracted significant attention from chemists, biologists, engineers and pharmaceutical scientists. In particular, they have been widely applied to improve drug, protein/peptide and gene delivery. 2. This review presents recent advances in the field of drug, protein/peptide and gene delivery using natural and synthetic polymer nanoparticles and explains how polymeric nanoparticles are specifically designed to suit the needs for targeted delivery of small molecular drugs, proteins/peptides and genes. In addition, some of the challenges and prospects for these technologies are discussed.Keywords
