Drug delivery systems rely heavily on nanoparticles because they provide a targeted and monitored release of pharmaceuticals that maximize therapeutic efficacy and minimize side effects. To maximize drug internalization, this review focuses on comprehending the interactions between biological systems and nanoparticles. The way that nanoparticles behave during cellular uptake, distribution, and retention in the body is determined by their shape. Different forms, such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles, micelles, and nanorods, each have special properties that influence how well drugs are delivered to cells and internalized. To achieve the desired particle morphology, shape-controlled nanoparticle synthesis strategies take into account variables like pH, temperatures, and reaction time. Top-down techniques entail dissolving bulk materials to produce nanoparticles, whereas bottom-up techniques enable nanostructures to self-assemble. Comprehending the interactions at the bio-nano interface is essential to surmounting biological barriers and enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of nanotechnology in drug delivery systems. In general, drug internalization and distribution are greatly influenced by the shape of nanoparticles, which presents an opportunity for tailored and efficient treatment plans in a range of medical applications.

Doxorubicin, a widely used anthracycline antibiotic, has been a cornerstone in cancer chemotherapy since the 1960s. In addition to doxorubicin, anthracycline chemotherapy medications include daunorubicin, idarubicin, and epirubicin. For many years, doxorubicin has been the chemotherapy drug of choice for treating a broad variety of cancers.

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of ischemic cardiovascular disease worldwide. Recent studies indicated that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play an indispensable role in the progression of atherosclerosis. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated promising clinical applications in the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Cyclosporine A is an immunosuppressive drug used in clinics to treat steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). However, due to its side effects, researchers are evaluating novel drug delivery-based treatment options. Nanoparticles-based cyclosporine (Nano-CSA) offers a promising option for the treatment of UC, and various in vivo studies on animals have been conducted.
