ABSTRACT

Nanomedicine is currently demonstrating significant promise for new techniques of diagnosing and treating a wide range of ailments, including kidney disease and transplantation, cancer, and neurological diseases. Nanoparticles (NPs) are used in encapsulated drug delivery systems containing immunosuppressants and other medications, as well as imaging, gene therapy, and a variety of other medical fields. Drug design, manufacturing, and diagnostics have all benefited from the use of NPs. As imaging agents, delivery methods for encapsulated medicines, proteins, and nucleic acids, they can improve detection selectivity and sensitivity when appropriately constructed. This chapter will give an overview of several nanomaterials that are utilized for non-destructive imaging of biological organisms including cells and tissues.
