Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Nanotechnology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Diagnostic nanoparticles face limited clinical adoption due to pharmacokinetic, uniformity, toxicity, and elimination challenges.
  • Iron oxide nanoparticles are an exception, with others rarely used clinically.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical utility and potential applications of nanoparticles as diagnostic and theranostic agents.
  • To discuss the biological behavior and targeting limitations of nanoparticles in clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current clinical applications and limitations of diagnostic nanoparticles.
  • Analysis of nanoparticle uptake by macrophages and accumulation in specific tissues.
  • Discussion of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems and the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect.

Main Results:

  • Nanoparticles can accumulate in macrophage-rich tissues (liver, spleen, lymph nodes, inflammatory lesions), aiding diagnostic contrast.
  • Cell labeling with nanoparticles enables tracking of implanted cells and tissue-engineered grafts.
  • Targeted delivery to extravascular sites is challenging and often confounded by the EPR effect.

Conclusions:

  • Nanoparticles are not always optimal for molecular imaging but offer significant potential in other diagnostic and theranostic applications.
  • Understanding nanoparticle biodistribution and biological interactions is crucial for successful clinical translation.
