What are Nanoparticles and How Do They Aid in Detection?
Nanoparticles are particles between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. They can be engineered to bind to specific biomarkers associated with diseases. When these nanoparticles attach to their target, they can be detected through various methods such as fluorescence, magnetic resonance, or electrical signals, allowing for early detection of conditions like cancer, infections, and cardiovascular diseases.
