How Can Nanotechnology Help in Diagnosing Cystic Fibrosis?
Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions to improve the diagnosis of CF. Nanoparticles can be engineered to detect specific biomarkers associated with CF. These nanoparticles can be functionalized with antibodies or other targeting molecules to bind to CF-related biomarkers, enabling early and accurate diagnosis. For instance, quantum dots are fluorescent nanoparticles that can be used in imaging techniques to visualize CF biomarkers with high sensitivity.
