Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative force in biomedical research, offering innovative solutions to long-standing challenges in diagnostics, drug delivery, and therapeutic interventions. This comprehensive review explores the dynamic landscape of nanodevice manufacturing for biomedical applications, encompassing the latest breakthroughs, persistent challenges, and the promising trajectory of this rapidly evolving field. In recent years, the synthesis of nanomaterials has gained significant attention due to their unique physicochemical properties. Carbon-based materials, metallic nanoparticles, liposomes, and polymer-based nanocarriers constitute the arsenal of materials under examination, each with distinct advantages tailored to specific biomedical applications.
The manufacturing of nanodevices involves an array of sophisticated fabrication techniques, ranging from traditional lithography to cutting-edge 3D printing. This section critically evaluates these methods, exploring their scalability, precision, and adaptability to diverse biomedical contexts. Biomedical imaging and diagnostics have experienced a paradigm shift with the integration of nanodevices. We scrutinize the utilization of nanoscale contrast agents, quantum dots, and multifunctional nanop
articles, elucidating their roles in enhancing imaging modalities for early disease detection and accurate monitoring. Furthermore, the review navigates through drug delivery systems, spotlighting nanocarriers’ pivotal role in improving drug solubility, bioavailability, and targeted delivery, thereby revolutionizing therapeutic efficacy.
While the therapeutic potential of nanodevices in cancer therapy, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine is profound, challenges persist. Regulatory hurdles, concerns regarding nanotoxicity, and the imperative for standardization necessitate focused attention. Looking ahead, the integration of artificial intelligence, the development of multifunctional nanodevices, and collaborative interdisciplinary efforts hold the promise of propelling nanotechnology into mainstream personalized and precision medicine.
