Despite its potential, nanobiotechnology faces several challenges:
- Toxicity and Biocompatibility: The safety of nanoparticles and their long-term effects on health and the environment need thorough investigation. - Regulatory Hurdles: Standardizing protocols and ensuring regulatory compliance for nanomaterials is complex. - Scalability: Producing nanomaterials on a large scale while maintaining quality and functionality can be challenging. - Ethical Concerns: The implications of manipulating biological systems at the nanoscale raise ethical questions that need to be addressed.
