ABSTRACT

The field of nanotechnology has crossed significant milestones from the systemic delivery of nanomedicines. However the ability to achieve spatiotemporal control may be essential to many medicinal applications. Nanotechnology has created a new horizon in diagnostic as well as therapeutic areas spreading itself to even molecular levels because of its adaptability for success at atomic scale. Several delivery systems are being proposed worldwide over the last several years. Nanosystems include dendrimers, magnetic nanoparticle, liposomes, quantum dots, nanoburrs employed for the purposes like targeting cancer cells, tissue imaging, cancer therapy, virus detection, noninvasive vaccine delivery etc. We continue with advanced uses like nanoburrs here, which are nanoparticles coated with a sticky protein that make them cling onto artery walls while they slowly release drugs. This paper suggests nanotechnology has tremendous implications in the development of future both human medicine and veterinary treatment, and finds it to be hugely applicable both today and in the future. This review brings about the working and applications of nanoburrs.
