What Are Some Applications in Medical Diagnostics?
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing medical diagnostics in several ways:
Cancer Detection: Nanoparticles can be functionalized to target cancer cells, allowing for early detection through imaging or blood tests. Infectious Disease Diagnostics: Nanosensors can rapidly detect pathogens at low concentrations, enabling timely treatment. Point-of-Care Testing: Portable nanodevices allow for quick and accurate testing in remote or resource-limited settings. Genetic Testing: Nanopore technology enables the sequencing of DNA at high speed and low cost, facilitating personalized medicine.
