 Nanomedicine is a rapidly growing field of research which uses nanoparticles to deliver drugs to specific targets within the body. This technology has been used for a variety of purposes including improved drug delivery, targeted imaging, and selective diagnosis. Nanoparticle-based drugs can be designed to target specific cells or tissues, allowing for more effective treatments with fewer side effects. Additionally, nanoparticles can be used to detect markers associated with certain diseases, making them useful for early detection and monitoring of disease progression.
