Nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine by enabling highly precise diagnostics, targeted therapies, and personalized healthcare solutions. This review explores the multifaceted applications of nanotechnology across medical fields such as oncology and infectious disease control. Engineered nanoparticles (NPs), such as liposomes, polymeric carriers, and carbon-based nanomaterials, enhance drug solubility, protect therapeutic agents from degradation, and enable site-specific delivery, thereby reducing toxicity to healthy tissues. In diagnostics, nanosensors and contrast agents provide ultra-sensitive detection of biomarkers, supporting early diagnosis and real-time monitoring. Nanotechnology also contributes to regenerative medicine, antimicrobial therapies, wearable devices, and theranostics, which integrate treatment and diagnosis into unified systems. Advanced innovations such as nanobots and smart nanosystems further extend these capabilities, enabling responsive drug delivery and minimally invasive interventions. Despite its immense potential, nanomedicine faces challenges, including biocompatibility, environmental safety, manufacturing scalability, and regulatory oversight. Addressing these issues is essential for clinical translation and public acceptance. In summary, nanotechnology offers transformative tools that are reshaping medical diagnostics, therapeutics, and disease prevention. Through continued research and interdisciplinary collaboration, it holds the potential to significantly enhance treatment outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and usher in a new era of precise and personalized medicine.
纳米技术正在彻底改变医学,它能够实现高度精确的诊断、靶向治疗和个性化医疗解决方案。本文综述探讨了纳米技术在肿瘤学和传染病控制等医学领域的多方面应用。工程化纳米颗粒(NPs),如脂质体、聚合物载体和碳基纳米材料,可提高药物溶解度,保护治疗剂不被降解,并实现位点特异性递送,从而降低对健康组织的毒性。在诊断方面,纳米传感器和造影剂可对生物标志物进行超灵敏检测,支持早期诊断和实时监测。纳米技术还为再生医学、抗菌治疗、可穿戴设备以及治疗诊断学做出贡献,治疗诊断学将治疗和诊断整合到统一系统中。纳米机器人和智能纳米系统等先进创新进一步扩展了这些能力,实现了响应式药物递送和微创干预。尽管纳米医学具有巨大潜力,但也面临着挑战,包括生物相容性、环境安全性、制造可扩展性和监管监督。解决这些问题对于临床转化和公众接受至关重要。总之,纳米技术提供了变革性工具,正在重塑医学诊断、治疗和疾病预防。通过持续研究和跨学科合作,它有潜力显著提高治疗效果、降低医疗成本,并开创精确和个性化医学的新时代。
