The global HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to take its toll of human lives. In 2007 there were 33 million people living with HIV/AIDS, with 2.7 million new HIV infections and two million HIV-related deaths.(1) With a total of 2.5 million people living with HIV/AIDS, India too is in the grip of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.(2) According to the HIV Sentinel ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
