Bionanotechnology : the novel nanoparticles based approach for disease therapy

Abstract EN

The molecular level and nanotechnology.

It provided new avenues of research and development to produce novel and new nanomaterials of medicinal applications which paved the way to the vibrant field of nanomedicine.

This is dependent on combining biological norms with unique characteristics of nano-sized particles to carry out very specific functions.

This will hopefully lead to the elucidation of our understanding of disease therapy and the biology of different life forms.

The prospects of using nanoparticles in such fields would include drug and gene therapy, tumor control, detection of pathogens and proteins, tissue and cell engineering, DNA probing, pest control in agricultural fields and many other applications.

Knowing the expected implications of novel nanoparticles applications in nanoparticle based medicine and research, it became important to compile literature relevant to this subject in a single publication.

Thus, this mini review was aimed to be a contribution to this emerging volatile area of bionanotechnology, where efforts are being exerted to apply basic scientific ideas in clinical practice.
