Nanoparticulate carriers are versatile moieties that have multifunctional applications in drug delivery and diagnostics like use as carriers of drug molecules, proteins, genes, DNA, antibiotics, etc.; and use as biosensors and contrast agents in MRI, CT scan, phototherapy, and fluorescent biological labels. They can also be used for ligand targeted delivery, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, phagokinetic studies, hyperthermia for destruction of tumor cells, etc. Few other applications that have not been discussed in the previous sections are being discussed below.
