Nanoparticles in Biotechnology and Medicine
Engineered nanoparticles with large surface-to-volume ratios, flexible surface functionalization capabilities, and unique physical or chemical characteristics, have attracted significant attention in biotechnology and medicine. They can stimulate, respond to, and interact with target molecules, cells or tissues in controlled ways. Recent research has seen the progress in the development and biomedical applications of carbon-based nanoparticles, cadmium and lead-free semiconductor nanocrystals, persistent luminescence ceramic nanoparticles, cellulose nanocrystals, metal-organic frameworks, noble-metal nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, RNA nanoparticles, and so on. These nanoparticles function as labels or enzymes in sensing, contrasts in imaging, and drug vehicles or antibacterial reagents in therapy.
