What are the Challenges in Developing Biocompatible Sensors?
Despite their potential, developing biocompatible sensors poses several challenges:
- Toxicity: Some nanomaterials may be toxic to cells, necessitating careful selection and surface modification to ensure safety. - Stability: Ensuring the long-term stability of sensors in the biological environment can be difficult due to factors such as enzymatic degradation and biofouling. - Integration: Seamlessly integrating these sensors with existing medical devices and systems requires overcoming technical and logistical hurdles.
