Smart Theranostic Nano Materials: Recent Progress from Bench to Bedside Translation

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com and therapy of cancer which is also called theranostic nanoparticle could be a highly demanded medicine in the future to improve personalized cancer disease management [2]. Several organic and inorganic nanoparticles have been in the race to design the best theranostic nanoparticle that can efficiently target the tumor site without damaging the healthy tissue. Smart nanoparticle platforms of carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, quantum dots, ironoxide, gold, polymeric (e.g mostly ester based biodegradable polymers), ferritin, porous silica, and liposome etc have been engineered in such as way that the functionalized nanoparticles have potential translational ability in the clinic. There are several challenges in the development of roboust theranostic nano platform appropriate for disease detection and therapy [3].
