Nanotechnology for inflammatory bowel disease management: Detection, imaging and treatment

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of intestinal disorders which cause prolonged digestive tract inflammation. The early diagnosis IBD through the detection its biomarkers (including tumor necrosis factor alpha, C-reactive protein, cytokines and microRNAs) imaging agents challenge. Nanotechnology enabled biosensors enhanced image contrasting chemicals for offer promises an affordable, reliable confirmation type thereof. Moreover, engineered nanoparticles (NPs) can also be used to deliver active drug directly region Major advantages targeted delivery are low dosage requirement due localized/guided minimal side effects other organs by drug. Here, we present mini review about different nanostructures (Au NPs, Graphene, Quantum dots, inorganic etc. ) plant-based detection, treatment IBD. • applications in diagnosis, towards (IBD). Nanosensors based on biomarker accurate disease. Nanomaterials contrast medical imaging. Nanoscale vehicles delivery.
