Nanoparticles incorporated in nanofibers using electrospinning: A novel nano-in-nano delivery system

Nanofibers are cutting-edge drug delivery systems that are being utilised to treat a variety of ailments. Nano -fibers are mostly woven by electrospinning techniques that are majorly used in drug delivery, wound dressing, tissue engineering, sensors, etc. They have several limitations that can be addressed by developing nano-in-nano delivery techniques. Nanoparticles are incorporated into nanofibers in these nano-in-nano systems. They offer a lot of benefits over other nanosystems, including the ability to shield drugs from physical deterioration, the ability to provide prolonged drug release, high surface area to volume ratio, increased drug loading capacity and the potential to be employed in critical conditions such as cancer. These nanoparticles can be encapsulated, entrapped, or adsorbed onto nanofibers in a variety of ways. To include nanosystems into nanofibers, a variety of materials and different kinds of nanoparticles can be used. The present review gives an insight to the applications of nano - in - nano drug delivery system for different diseases/disorders. The review also brings forward the current state of these novel delivery systems along with future perspectives.
