چکیده
The term “nanoparticles” refers to very tiny particles, much smaller than cancer cells or even standard chemotherapy drugs. A nanoparticle ranges between 1 and 100 nanometers (a metric unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter) in diameter. Nanoparticles have industrial uses in creating surface coatings for scratch-resistant glass, skid-resistant roads, in strengthening metals, and in the development of more efficient solar panels. This post will concentrate on the applications related to cancer therapy.
