Nanocomposite Based on Albumin Protein and Review of Its Applications in Medical Engineering

Albumin is a protein macromolecule that it has been attractive since the early 20th century and has several therapeutic applications. Albumin is an aboundant serum with good biocompatibility, hematopoiesis and biodegradability in blood. The existence of multiple functional groups makes it possible to carry significant amounts of therapeutic and diagnostic factors, as well as targeting factors. This protein, on the one hand, has therapeutic uses and, on the other hand, is used in various formulations to carry pharmaceutical and diagnostic agents. There are many benefits to albumin-based nanocomposites in facilitating their clinical applications in a variety fields, including drug release, imaging, teranostic, tissue engineering, and coatings.
