Nanotechnology development has allowed that nanomaterials can be used in biomedical applications, and nanometer sized objects can interact with biological entities like cells, virus, protein, enzyme, etc. For this reason, many research projects has been focused in the development of nanosystems, nanoparticles and nanodevices for this applications. This area is relatively new, according to the ISI web of knowledge, the publications of the nanoparticles for biomedical applications started on 2000 year, and since that time they have increased exponentially (Figure 1). The nanoparticles (NPs) used for biomedical purposes generally include zero-dimensional nanospheres and one-dimensional nanowires and nanotubes. |
