With reference to the use of nano technology in health sector, which of the following statements is/are correct ?
1. Targeted drug delivery is made possible by nanotechnology.
2. Nanotechnology can largely
contribute to gene therapy. Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
-
A.
1 only
-
B.
2 only
-
C.
Both 1and 2
-
D.
Neither 1 nor 2
Correct Answer:
C. Both 1and 2
Explanation:
The correct answer is (c) Both 1 and 2.
Explanation:
Nanotechnology enables targeted drug delivery by using nanoparticles that can carry drugs directly to specific cells or tissues, improving therapeutic efficiency and reducing side effects. Various nanocarriers like nanocapsules, dendrimers, and polymeric micelles facilitate this targeted approach.
Nanotechnology also contributes significantly to gene therapy by improving the delivery and stability of genetic material, helping it reach target cells effectively for correction or modification of gene function.
Thus, both statements about the use of nanotechnology in targeted drug delivery and gene therapy are correct.
