An overview of nanotechnological applications in biomedical engineering

Abstract

Advances in nanomedicine are expected to fundamentally alter how diseases are identified and treated. The future of biomedical engineering and medical treatments could be significantly impacted by nanotechnology in a number of ways. Toxicology testing procedures must be correlated and reproducible, and there must be sufficient knowledge about in vivo and in vitro results in biomedical applications before using nanotechnology in the workplace. In recent years, key studies in the domains of safety and tolerance, both non-clinical and clinical, have become necessary in order to create prospective commercial applications. Although it hasn't yet been fully realized, the potential for nanopatterning of usable medical devices is significant. Pharmaceutical engineering, tissue engineering, genetic engineering, medical devices innovation, imaging and antiviral usage were among the applications proposed. More study is needed on the immunological and inflammatory responses, the effects of reactions at the interface of tissue/blood and fibres, medication concentration, and the outcomes. The biomedical uses of nanoparticles and nanopatterned surfaces are discussed, as well as the surface characteristics and alterations that regulate their response when in contact with living things. With an emphasis on nanotechnology's uses in the biomedical sector, current research trends in nanobiotechnology are discussed.
