Abstract

The use of nanotechnologies in medicine, particularly in the creation of novel drug delivery systems, has gained growing interest. Drugs can target specific sick locations with the assistance of nanoscale carriers, extending treatment efficacy and reducing unwanted side effects. Despite significant drawbacks, a lot of pharmaceutical and medical device businesses have already used medical nanotechnology. In some situations, medications with a high potential for toxicity, like cancer chemotherapy drugs, can be delivered with a higher level of safety. Living cells are microscopic virtual machines that participate in all biological processes, such as cell signaling, metabolism, energy production, and nutrient transport. Considering this, it can be said that this technique is a strong contender for use in therapeutic biology and medicine. We talk about the value of nanoscience in this review as various nanotechnology platforms are applied in other areas of medicine. Additionally, we are talking about the potential applications of nanotechnology in human health in the future.
