Recent Advancement of Nanotechnology in Bio Applications

Nanotechnology is the production, design, and research of useful materials and devices with sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nm. Nanoparticles (NPs) have unique features with a wide range of applications due to their small size and large surface area. Nanoparticles are employed in a variety of biological applications, including treatments, diagnostics, imaging, and drug administration. Besides these, nanomaterials are also used in tissue engineering as schaffolds and as biomaterials in medicinal applications. In this chapter, we focused on these various applications of nanotechnology in bio-applications to update the readers on the most recent discoveries as well as the existing challenges. Nanotechnology has significant potential for providing different multimodal diagnostic platforms and therapeutic applications that will drastically alter the human health scenario. Thorough investigation of these complex nano-applications may encourage progressive research and development in future biomedical sectors. Attempts are currently underway to convert these scientific advances into clinical practice, which should usher in a new paradigm of biomedicine.
