The main biomedical application of polymeric nanocapsules/nanocarriers.

Notes: PubMed resources searched in all fields using the term “polymeric nanocapsules” filtered on “in the last five years” (2016–2020). Seven hundred seventy results were obtained (on March 25, 2020), and the authors selected 320 publications in which nanocapsules were used in the biomedical field (excluding diagnostic application and review papers). (A) Polymer nanocapsules were divided into three categories depending on their application in medicine. (B) Since the vast majority were nanocapsules used as a drug delivery system (294 from 320 publications), the authors present the types of transported drugs, w/o drugs stand for nanocapsules which were obtained empty and have potential as drug transporter.
