(2) Active targeting
Nanoparticle passive targeting can be enhanced by ‘active targeting’, where specific ligands (peptides, antibodies, aptamers, or small molecules) are attached to the nanoparticle surface to bind receptors/antigens overexpressed on cancer cells. Targeting increases accumulation in tumors and lessens exposure to healthy tissue, which can improve a toxic drug’'s therape
