Abstract
The focus of this chapter is to explore the progress of nanostructured materials and their potential biomedical applications. Nanotechnology offers incredible opportunities in manipulating chemical and biological entities at the nano scale level. The nanoscience plays a key role in technological development for biomedical applications, especially in the areas of preclinical diagnosis, non- or minimal invasive biomedical imaging, drug discovery, and drug delivery. This research work discusses a brief history of nanotechnology, different synthetic routes, characterizations, fundamental concepts regarding morphologies, characteristics, biological interactions, and clinical applications. A few nanoparticles such as metal nanoparticles (Au, Ag, Pt, etc.), magnetic and metal oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4, Fe2O3, ZnO, TiO2, etc.), quantum dots (CdTe, Cds, etc.), mesoporous silica nanoparticles, carbon nano tubes (CNT, SWNT, etc.), ceramics nano materials (apatite, hydroxyapatite, bio-glass, etc.), polymeric nanoparticles (polypyrrole, β-cyclodextrin, chitosan, fucoidan, etc.) are widely used in biomedical field. In this article, we present the recent trend and challenges in the advances of nanomaterials for clinical applications. This review might be considered as a general guide and will help the readers to find key information regarding the recent advances in nanomedicine.
