Applications of nanotechnology in medicine – A review

Nanotechnology is the exploitation of the unique properties of materials at the nanoscale. The size range of nanomaterials is between ۱-۱۰۰ nm, and in this scale, the physicochemical and biological properties of materials are fundamentally different from individual atoms and molecules. It is a multidisciplinary science whose goal is to control matter at the atomic and molecular level, and today its importance has become clear to all scientists. Nanotechnology has reached almost every sector and amazed the world by offering various potential applications in these sectors. This research is focused on the medical applications of nanotechnology. The results indicate the wide potential of this technology in drug delivery, gene transfer, medical imaging, and disease diagnosis, etc.
