Abstract
Recent research shows that noble metal nanoparticles especially gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles have been extensively used in various fields (electronics, catalysis, textile, agriculture, food) including biomedical applications due to its unique fundamental properties (chemical, physical, and biological). Considering its unique properties and medicinal value, researchers all over the globe are focusing on the synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles by changing their size, shape, and utilizing them for various biomedical applications (drug-gene delivery, sensors, imaging, medical devices, antimicrobial, wound healing, tissue engineering, cancer theranostics, etc.). Though several reports are available regarding the application of gold and silver nanoparticles in cancer theranostics, however, there is not a single comprehensive review article or book chapter that highlights their latest development and potential biomedical applications. The present book chapter provides the insight of an overall review on the recent development of gold and silver nanomaterials for cancer theranostics as well as other applications. Further, the challenges and future perspectives are also discussed along with toxicity issues. Overall, this book chapter demonstrates the basic understanding of gold and silver in different fields that will attract the broad spectrum of the scientific community.
