What Are the Applications of Metabolomics in Nanotechnology?
1. Disease Diagnostics: By combining metabolomics with nanotechnology, early detection of diseases can be achieved. Nanostructured materials can be used to develop highly sensitive diagnostic tools that detect metabolic changes indicative of diseases such as cancer and diabetes.
2. Drug Development: Nanotechnology can help in the design of nanocarriers that improve the delivery of drugs to specific metabolic pathways, enhancing efficacy and reducing side effects. Metabolomics can then be used to monitor the metabolic response to these drugs.
3. Environmental Monitoring: Nanosensors can be employed to monitor environmental samples for metabolites indicative of pollution or other ecological changes.
