Beneficial Applications of Nanoparticles in Medical Field – A Review

Nanoparticles may provide advanced biomedical research tools based on polymeric or inorganic formulations or a combination of both. They have the potential to be used in many different biological and medical applications as in diagnostic tests assays for early detection of diseases, to serve as tools for noninvasive imaging and drug development, and to be used as targeted drug delivery systems to minimize secondary systemic negative effects. Nanoparticles have contributed too many allusing advances in medical field. Because of its greater surface area per weight than large particles it has one dimension (i.e.) it measures 100nm or less. Despite size it has advantages over shape, biocompatibility and selectivity. It changes the properties of conventional materials. The main aim of this review is to bring out the beneficial application of nanoparticles in medical field
