ABSTRACT

 

Nanomedicine has demonstrated its worth in the treatment of different diseases through the use of drug delivery and nanosensors. With the invention of nanoparticles (NPs), nanomedicines, nanomaterial-based biosensors, and antibody diagnostic kits, nanotechnology has opened new horizons for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. To diagnose and treat HIV, Zika virus, influenza, and Herpes Simplex virus various nanomaterials such as carbon dots, gold, and silver NPs are used. Nanomedicine and its components have the potential to play a significant role in disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, vaccine, and research at various phases. Antimicrobial nanotechnology can be implemented into personal equipment to improve the safety of health-care personnel and the general public. Various NPs formulations for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes have been developed as result of recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology. Diagnostic NPs are designed to aid in the visualization of pathologies and the better understanding of important physiological principles underlying a variety of diseases and treatment.
