Nanoparticle drug delivery
Emerging drug delivery devices such as nanoparticles or gene therapies are highly dangerous in terms of safety and equity. For example, we should make sure that the treatments would not negatively affect the environment or cause any incidental side effects. The regulation of other agencies such as FDA are applied in the process of ensuring the safety of new practices but vary across countries (World Health Organization, 2024).
