This brief highlights recent research advances in the area of
nano-therapeutics. Nanotechnology holds immense potential for
application in a wide range of biological and engineering applications
such as molecular sensors for disease diagnosis, therapeutic agents for
the treatment of diseases, a vehicle for delivering therapeutics and
imaging agents for theranostic applications, both in-vitro and in-vivo.
The brief is grouped into the following sections namely, A) Discrete
Nanosystems; B) Anisotropic Nanoparticles; C) Nano-films/coated/layered
and D) Nano-composites.
