26. CARBAN NANOTUBES
CNT is a tubular form of carbon
with diameter as small as 1 nm
Carbon nano tubes are being used
for drug delivery and cancer
detection.

28. IMPROVING MRI IMAGING
o Iron oxide nanoparticles can used to improve MRI
images of cancer tumors.
o The nanoparticle is coated with a peptide that
binds to a cancer tumor, once the nanoparticles are
attached to the tumor the magnetic property of the
iron oxide enhances the images from the Magnetic
Resonance Imagining scan.
29. TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY
Nanoparticles containing drugs are coated with
targeting agents (e.g. conjugated antibodies) it
circulate through the blood vessels and reach the
target cells.

oligospora, spherical nanoparticles which contains
glycosaminoglycan and protein components which
act as immuno- stimulatory and antitumor agent
for cancer immuno chemotherapy.
