The applications of nanomedicine are vast and include:
Drug Delivery: Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver drugs directly to diseased cells, reducing side effects and improving efficacy. Cancer Treatment: Nanoparticles can target and kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Imaging: Nanoparticles can enhance the contrast in imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans, allowing for earlier and more accurate diagnosis. Regenerative Medicine: Nanomaterials can support tissue engineering and the regeneration of damaged tissues and organs. Diagnostics: Nanosensors can detect biomarkers at very low concentrations, enabling early disease detection and monitoring.
