This brief highlights nanoparticles used in the diagnosis and
treatment of prominent diseases and toxic conditions. Ecofriendly
methods which are ideal for the synthesis of medicinally valued
nanoparticles are explained and the characteristic features of
these particles projected. The role of these particles in the
therapeutic field, and the induced biological changes in some
diseases are discussed. The main focus is on inflammation,
oxidative stress and cellular membrane integrity alterations. The
effect of nanoparticles on these changes produced by various agents
are highlighted using in vitro and in vivo models. The mechanism of
nanoparticles in ameliorating the biological changes is supported
by relevant images and data. Finally, the brief demonstrates recent
developments on the use of nanoparticles in diagnosis or sensing of
some biological materials and biologically hazardous environmental
materials.
