Systemic Review of Biodegradable Nanomaterials in Nanomedicine.

ABSTRACT: Nanomedicine is a field of science that uses nanoscale materials for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. It has emerged as an important aspect of the therapeutics, but at the same time, also raises concerns regarding the safety of the nanomaterials involved. Recent applications of functionalized biodegradable nanomaterials have significantly improved the safety profile of nanomedicine. Our goal is to evaluate different types of biodegradable nanomaterials that have been functionalized for their biomedical applications. In this review, we used PubMed as our literature source and selected recently published studies on biodegradable nanomaterials and their applications in nanomedicine. We found that biodegradable polymers are commonly functionalized for various purposes. Their prope
