Abstract

New generations of nanostructures have been created in this era of nanoscience as a result of advancements in nanotechnology. These nanostructures are distinguished by their exploratory use in a variety of biomedical and bio-engineering applications. It is anticipated that these applications will greatly enhance the therapeutic and diagnostic aspects of numerous illnesses. The materials have been investigated and documented as highly effective drug delivery platforms and as parts of biosensors. There have been reports of a small number of clinically useful nanomaterials; however they are not consistently effective. This might be as a result of nontoxicity, a possible drawback to its application in biological systems. A brief review of the development of nanostructure for biomedical applications over time, including new materials and our knowledge of their interactions with the body, may lead to better biocompatible nanostructures.

Keywords: difficulties, applications in healthcare, nanotechnology, and nanotoxicity.
