Current Research on Nanoparticles in Medicine and Future Obstacles

Justin Jesuraj

Materials with overall dimensions in the nanoscale, or under 100 nm, are referred to as nanoparticles. These materials have recently become significant players in contemporary medicine, with therapeutic uses ranging from contrast agents in imaging to carriers for the transport of drugs and genes into malignancies. In fact, there are some situations where using nanoparticles makes it possible to perform studies and treatments that would otherwise be impossible. However, because of their toxicity in particular, nanoparticles pose special environmental and socioeconomic problems. This review will explore the societal and environmental implications of nanoparticle use as well as the significant contributions that nanoparticles have made to modern medicine.
