Biophotonics
Passive targeting refers to the process by which therapeutic agents, such as nanoparticles or drugs, are delivered to specific sites in the body based on the natural biological characteristics of the target tissues. This mechanism relies on the inherent properties of the biological environment, such as enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, to facilitate the accumulation of these agents in diseased tissues, making it particularly relevant in nanotechnology and nanophotonics applications in biomedicine.
congrats on reading the definition of Passive targeting. now let's actually learn it.
