What Are Some Current Applications of Theranostic Nanotechnology?
Current applications of theranostic nanotechnology are most prominently seen in oncology. For instance, nanocarriers loaded with chemotherapeutic agents can target cancer cells while imaging them using MRI or fluorescence. Other applications include targeted drug delivery systems for cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative disorders, where the dual functionality of nanomaterials can provide both therapeutic benefits and diagnostic information.
