The Role of Nanoparticles in Diagnostics
Nanoparticles, due to their unique optical, electronic, and magnetic properties, can interact with biological systems in ways traditional materials cannot. Their small size allows them to bind selectively with biomolecules, such as antibodies or DNA, and enhances signal detection, making them ideal for applications in medical diagnostics. These particles improve the performance of diagnostic assays, allowing clinicians to identify diseases at their earliest stages.
