Abstract

The use of nanoparticles in biological applications has been rapidly advancing toward practical applications in human cancer diagnosis and therapy. Upon linking the nanoparticles with biomolecules, they can be used to locate cancerous areas as well as for traceable drug delivery with high affinity and specificity. In this feature article, we discuss the engineering of multifunctional nanoparticle probes and their use in bioimaging and nanomedicine.
