Nanotheronostics

Nanotheranostics is the incorporation of diagnostic and therapeutic purpose in single association consuming the welfares of nanotechnology, is enormously attractive for personalized drugs and Precision Medicine (PM). Nanotheranostics is an expanding field in latest years, which makes usage of “nanotechnology” for diagnostics and therapies of various diseases. The latest advancement in the field of nanotechnology has aided a novel generation of various forms of nanomaterials composed of either polymer or inorganic based nanoparticles to be valuable for nanotheranostics applications. Nanotechnology clamps abundant potential to be explored as a multifunctional platform for extensive series of engineering and biological applications such as molecular beams for disease diagnosis, therapeutic agents for curing of diseases and a vehicle for delivering imaging and therapeutic agents for theranostic applications in living animals and cells. The initiation of nanotheranostics is anticipated to value the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries in the next 5-10 years. Some of the significant features of the nanotechnology towards medicine are reliable detection, price reduction and diagnostics of diseases at an initial stage for optimum treatment.
