The Vast Biomedical Applications of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract

Biomedical nanomaterials have gained a lot of attention in the last decade. They have ‎emphasized various concerns due to their vast and significant biological properties and ‎biomedical applications. Metal oxide nanoparticles offer a wide range of medicinal uses, ‎including anticancer, drug/gene delivery, antibacterial, cell imaging, and biosensing, ‎among others. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have been employed like a key ‎material in a range of industries in last years, including medicine, cosmetics, concrete, ‎antimicrobials, and textiles. the automotive industry, and cancer prevention. Anticancer ‎and antibacterial effects are linked to the capability of ZnO-NPs to produce reactive ‎oxygen species (ROS) and trigger cell programmed death (apoptosis). The following ‎review articles summarize the different biomedical applications of ZnO nanoparticles.
