Abstract
The spurring growth and clinical adoption of nanomaterials and nanotechnology in medicine, i.e. "nanomedicine", to shape global health care system is a collective effort that comprises academia research, industrial drive, and political and financial support from government.[...].
Highlights
The definition and classification of nanomaterials are continuously evolving with our understanding of this exciting field
Nanomaterials are categorized as organic, inorganic, or hybrid nanomaterials to highlight their inherent advantages in context to diagnostics and therapeutics
Another clinically promising nanotechnology approach uses a sugar-based amphiphilic scorpion and star-like nanomaterials with a core-shell micelle design, best suitable geometry for drug encapsulation, and additional properties conferred by their bioactive shells [13]
Summary
The definition and classification of nanomaterials are continuously evolving with our understanding of this exciting field. The development of new biomaterials and the methods of formulating nanomedicine “intended primarily for therapeutics” in the context of controlled size, stability, percent drug entrapment, and sustained drug release is an always-evolving area of research. Transition metals, including but not limited to gold, silver, platinum, iron, cobalt, titanium, technetium, and lanthanide, have unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties, which makes them a great choice for multifunctional biomedical applications in optical and electrical sensing [3,4], diagnosis [5,6,7], photo-thermal therapy [8], optogenetics [9], and a few others.
