Exploring the Biological and Medical Applications of Graphene Nanoparticles
Main Article Content
Abstract
Graphene nanoparticles, with their unique structural and electronic properties, have emerged as a revolutionary material in the realm of biological and medical applications. Their high surface area, exceptional conductivity, and biocompatibility make them ideal candidates for a range of uses, from advanced imaging techniques to targeted drug delivery systems. This review explores the multifaceted applications of graphene nanoparticles, highlighting their role in enhancing medical diagnostics through improved imaging contrast and resolution. In drug delivery, graphene nanoparticles offer innovative solutions for targeting and releasing therapeutic agents at specific sites, thereby minimizing side effects and increasing treatment efficacy. Additionally, their potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is being actively researched, as they can promote cell growth and facilitate tissue repair. The review also addresses the challenges and limitations associated with the use of graphene nanoparticles, including issues related to toxicity, environmental impact, and regulatory considerations. By synthesizing current research and advancements, this overview provides a comprehensive understanding of how graphene nanoparticles are shaping the future of medicine and biotechnology, paving the way for more effective and personalized healthcare solutions.
