Biofunctionalized nanoparticles

Biofunctionalized nanoparticles are tiny particles engineered with biological molecules, such as proteins or antibodies, attached to their surface. This customization allows them to recognize, bind to, or interact with specific biological targets, like cancer cells or bacteria. By combining the unique properties of nanoparticles—such as large surface area and controlled size—with biological functionality, these particles are used in medical diagnostics, targeted drug delivery, and imaging. Essentially, they act as precise tools that can seek out and interact with particular cells or molecules in the body, improving the effectiveness and specificity of treatments and diagnostic methods.
