Nanodiagnostics: A Revolution in Biomedical Nanotechnology
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Biomedical nanotechnologies are currently being applied to Nanodiagnostics, and several of them are in different phases of development. This review describes biomedical nanotechnologies that have either been deployed or have potential commercial applications in clinical diagnostics. Nanodiagnostics refer to the use of biomedical nanotechnology in diagnostics, and biomedical nanotechnology is the use of various nanotechnologies and their applications in the life sciences. These two emerging fields offer new paradigms for various medical diagnosis. This minireview further highlights the interrelationships of biomedical nanotechnology and diagnostics in nanomedicine as shown schematically in Figure 1, with empahasis on the application of these biomedical nanotechnologies in the clinical setting.

متن کاملUsing Au-nanoprobes for point-of-need diagnostics of TB
Tuberculosis remains one of the most serious infectious diseases worldwide requiring new tools to circumvent current molecular diagnostics limitations. Nanodiagnostics, i.e. nanotechnology based diagnostics, may do just that by decreasing the time needed for the molecular characterisation of the infecting agent, and allowing for miniaturisation and portability for point-of-need adapted to remot...
