How Can Nanotechnology Diagnose Metabolic Disorders?
Nanoparticles can be engineered to target specific metabolic markers in the body. Once administered, these nanoparticles can bind to these markers and be detected using various imaging techniques. This allows for early and precise diagnosis of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. For example, glucose-sensitive nanoparticles can be used to monitor blood sugar levels in real-time.
