Using the special phenomenon known as the increased permeability and
retention (EPR) effect, the idea of nanomedicine has seen tremendous development in
recent decades. Integration of principles based on nanotechnology into diagnostics and
medicines has led to major progress in imagining, precision medicine, and targeted
delivery of drugs. With a special focus on cancer therapy, countless nanomedicines
have been invented and used for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Nanomedicine
has recently been applied in a number of cutting-edge sectors, such as tissue
engineering, immunotherapy, vaccines, gene transfer, and diagnostics. Concurrent drug
administration, therapeutic monitoring, and imaging are made possible by
multifunctional nanomedicines, enabling prompt reactions and individualized treatment
regimens. This chapter mainly highlights the major progress made in nanomaterials and
their probable beneficial uses in the fields of biology and medicine. In addition to this,
this chapter also refers to the different clinical translations of nanomedicines and the
significant problems that are currently being faced by nanomedicine to overcome the
clinical translation barrier.
