Why are Inflammatory Response Assays Important in Nanotechnology?
Nanomaterials possess unique physicochemical properties that can interact with biological systems in unpredictable ways. Understanding these interactions is critical for assessing the biocompatibility and toxicity of nanomaterials, which are essential for their safe use in medical applications such as drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering. Inflammatory response assays help identify potential risks and mitigate adverse effects by providing insights into how nanomaterials influence immune responses.
