How Can Nanotechnology Help in the Diagnosis of IBD?
Nanotechnology provides innovative solutions for the early and accurate diagnosis of IBD. Nanoparticles can be designed to target specific biomarkers associated with inflammation. For instance, quantum dots and gold nanoparticles can be conjugated with antibodies that bind to inflammation-specific proteins. These nanoparticles enhance the sensitivity of diagnostic imaging techniques like MRI and fluorescence imaging, enabling the detection of inflammation at an earlier stage.
