Biolabeling and Bioimaging Applications of Functionalized Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles
Abstract
The effective creation of nanomaterials demonstrates significant interest in creating novel molecular probes for bioimaging and medical diagnosis. While the synthesis technique and characterization of these compounds have advanced significantly, toxicological problems are occasionally unresolved. Contrast agents (CA) based on nanoparticles are increasingly useful instruments for improving surgery and medical diagnosis across a variety of imaging modalities. Compared to traditional molecular-scale CAs, multimodal nanoparticles exhibit significantly higher efficiency. With their prolonged circulation durations, planned clearance paths, and various binding capacities, they offer new capabilities for in vivo detection and improved targeting efficiency. When properly stored, they can be employed to create a variety of functional systems that are less hazardous, have targeting capabilities, and can be appropriately removed from the body.
