How do Biological Organisms Interact with Nanomaterials?
Biological organisms, such as cells, bacteria, and viruses, have unique properties that allow them to interact with nanomaterials in specific ways. The cell membrane, for example, can be engineered to be permeable to nanoparticles, enabling targeted drug delivery. Similarly, bacteria can be used to biosynthesize nanomaterials, making them more environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
