Abstract

Nanotechnology deals with the design, production, examination, and application of materials and systems with dimensions ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanoscale materials exhibit unique properties that go beyond the classical physical behavior observed at the macroscopic and microscopic scales. These advantages include a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high mechanical strength, quantum effects, unique optical properties, and enhanced electrical and thermal conductivities. Therefore, nanomaterials enable groundbreaking applications in medical diagnosis (nanodiagnosis), treatment (nanotherapy), and regenerative medicine processes. Nanodiagnosis encompasses the evolution of nanodevices and imaging devices to detect and analyze diseased conditions, cellular abnormalities, and abnormal cells. Nanotherapy offers effective nano systems by applying more effective treatment while minimizing side effects. Regenerative medicine aims to repair or regenerate damaged tissues and organs using nanomaterials. The healthcare sector was reported to be the most commercial sector of the modern nanotechnology market in 2020, with a 19.5% capital share. Leadership in this field stems from the increasing use of nanotechnology in the development of nanodiagnostics, nanosurgical robots, cell repair applications, nanobiosensors, imaging, and targeted drug delivery. This study will address recent developments in the application of nanotechnology in the field of medicine.
