Résumé

Chitosan-based nanoparticles have emerged as a promising tool in the realm of cancer therapy, particularly for gene delivery. With cancer being a prevalent and devastating disease, finding effective treatment options is of utmost importance. These nanoparticles provide a unique solution by encapsulating specific genes and delivering them directly to cancer cells, offering immense potential for targeted therapy. The biocompatibility and biodegradability of chitosan, a naturally derived polymer, make it an ideal candidate for this purpose. The nanoparticles protect the genetic material during transportation and enhance its cellular uptake, ensuring effective delivery to the site of action. Furthermore, the unique properties of chitosan-based nanoparticles allow for the controlled release of genes, maximizing their therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse effects. By advancing the field of gene therapy through the use of chitosan-based nanoparticles, scientists are making significant strides toward more humane and personalized treatments for cancer patients.
