چکیده
Nanomaterials are similar in scale to biologic molecules and systems and therefore they can be engineered to have various functions potentially useful for medical applications. Nanomaterials are at the leading edge of the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology. Their unique size-dependent properties make them potential candidates for health care activities in this article a brief report is presented about the properties of nanomaterials and their utility in diagnosis and therapy of diseases coming in the way of human health. The application of nanomaterials for stem cell treatment in due course time is also mentioned.

Nanomaterials involve the structures with at least one dimension of <100 nm. Recently, development in nanotechnology has led to the use of nanomaterials in many different fields. On the other hand, increasing use of nanomaterials has resulted in release of these materials to the environment. Therefore, before employing these materials in biological and living systems, they should be evaluated ...
متن کاملAdsorptive Removal of Cr(VI) and Cu(II) Ions from Water Solution using Graphene Oxide-Manganese Ferrite (GMF) Nanomaterials
Chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu) are heavy metals known for their dangerous effect towards human health and could enter into human body mainly through ingestion. Over the years, different treatment methods have been used to eliminate heavy metal from raw water source and these include (co)precipitation, coagulation/flocculation, adsorption and ion- exchange. Nonetheless, adsorption is the most pro...
