What are the Applications of Biofunctionalized Nanomaterials?
Biofunctionalized nanomaterials have a wide range of applications in the biomedical field, including:
Targeted drug delivery: Functionalized nanoparticles can deliver drugs specifically to diseased cells, minimizing side effects on healthy tissues. Diagnostic imaging: Nanoparticles conjugated with imaging agents can enhance the contrast in MRI, CT scans, and other imaging modalities. Biosensors: Functionalized nanomaterials can detect specific biological molecules, enabling early diagnosis of diseases. Tissue engineering: Nanomaterials can be functionalized to promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, facilitating the development of artificial tissues.
