Therapeutic uses of nanomaterials and nanoparticles

Usos terapéuticos de nanomateriales y nanopartículas

The synthesis of nanomaterials and nanoparticles for medical uses has given rise to nanomedicine, a branch of nanotechnology that allows for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases, easement of pain, and maintenance and improvement of human health, using molecular tools and knowledge of the human body. This article reviews the current and future applications of nanotechnology in the area of biomedicine and presents the risks of toxicity that could arise through its indiscriminate use.
