Abstract

Engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology are all involved in nanotechnology, which comprises a wide variety of multidisciplinary scientific field devices. The holistic utilization of metallic nanoparticles in the disciplines of bio-engineering and bio-medicine has attracted a great deal of attention. Medical nanotechnology research can offer immense health benefits for humans. While the advantages of developing nanomaterials have been well documented, it is precisely apparent that there are still some major issues that remain unattended to those need to be resolved immediately so as to ensure that they do not adversely affect living organisms in any manner. The existence of nanoparticles gives them particular value in biology and materials science, as an emerging scientific field, with multiple applications in science and technology, especially with numerous frontiers in the development of new materials. Presented here is a review of recent noteworthy developments regarding plant-derived nanomaterials and their use in the development of medicine and biomedical applications around the world.

Summary

Introduction to Nanoparticles

Nanomaterials have brought a revolution in the area of biomedical research due to having a high loading capacity and strong protection to the payloads. As a result of their wide range of applications in a variety of fields, nanoparticles have become a hot topic of study in recent years, including in diagnostics, biomarkers, cell identification, antimicrobials, drug delivery, and cancer therapies [2]. Chemical, and biological methods can all be used to synthesize and develop nanoparticles. The physical properties of nanoparticles have changed as a function of their size, including melting point, electrical conductivity, fluorescence, chemical reactivity, and magnetic permeability [10]. These exemplary features make nanomaterials tunable and promising for the study of biological phenomena.
