       89 . A method of preventing or treating a disease in a subject comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a plurality of nano-particles, wherein the nano-particles include an active ingredient, and wherein the nano-cluster is not hollow, to a subject in need of the composition. 
   
   
       90 . The method of claim  115 , further comprising determining if a subject is in need of the prevention or treatment. 
   
   
       91 . The method of claim  115 , wherein the disease is a pulmonary disease or condition. 
   
   
       92 . The method of claim  115 , wherein the composition is administered nasally. 
   
   
       93 . The method of claim  115 , wherein the nano-cluster further comprises a dispersing material that disperses the nano-particles in response to an environmental cue.
