“…It is also defined as the science that investigates, beyond the molecular level, the design and development of highly ordered structured materials that offer specific responses when exposed to stimuli. The development of these nanomaterials has reached a wide use in numerous scientific and technical fields, including water treatment [1,2], electrocatalysis [3,4], catalysis [5][6][7][8][9], materials [10], and biomedical applications from cancer treatment to regenerative medicine [11][12][13]. In fact, these structures have become increasingly useful in two main areas of biomedicine: (1) nanomedicine, with noteworthy applications in imaging, biosensors, drug delivery systems, and photo thermal therapy; and (2) tissue and implants engineering either as scaffold-based nanomaterials or as components of biomedical devices.…”

Nowadays, biomaterials have become a crucial element in numerous biomedical, preclinical, and clinical applications. The use of nanoparticles entails a great potential in these fields mainly because of the high ratio of surface atoms that modify the physicochemical properties and increases the chemical reactivity. Among them, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as a powerful tool to improve biomedical approaches in the management of numerous diseases. CNTs have an excellent ability to penetrate cell membranes, and the sp 2 hybridization of all carbons enables their functionalization with almost every biomolecule or compound, allowing them to target cells and deliver drugs under the appropriate environmental stimuli. Besides, in the new promising field of artificial biomaterial generation, nanotubes are studied as the load in nanocomposite materials, improving their mechanical and electrical properties, or even for direct use as scaffolds in body tissue manufacturing. Nevertheless, despite their beneficial contributions, some major concerns need to be solved to boost the clinical development of CNTs, including poor solubility in water, low biodegradability and dispersivity, and toxicity problems associated with CNTs' interaction with biomolecules in tissues and organs, including the possible effects in the proteome and genome. This review performs a wide literature analysis to present the main and latest advances in the optimal design and characterization of carbon nanotubes with biomedical applications, and their capacities in different areas of preclinical research.

“…In the last decades the development of novel nanomaterials have gained increasing interest due to their fascinating physicochemical properties, which offer a great potential in different fields, such as (bio)analytical chemistry [3,4], water treatment [5], catalysis, electrocatalysis [6][7][8][9], cancer treatment [10], energy storage devices [11], etc. Although there is no much information available about production of QDs, it was possible to estimate worldwide and Europe-wide production and use of ten different nanomaterials, including quantum dots, from a survey sent to companies producing and using engineered nanomaterials.…”

Quantum Dots (QDs) are a special type of engineered nanomaterials with outstanding optoelectronic properties make them as a very promising alternative to conventional luminescent dyes for biomedical applications, including biomolecule targeting, luminescence imaging as well as in drug delivery.A key parameter to ensure successful biomedical applications of QDs is that the surface of these nanomaterials should be modified with appropriate functional groups to ensure stability in aqueous solutions and conjugated with recognition elements capable to ensure an efficient tagging of the biomolecules of interest.Here, we present a review summarizing most relevant strategies for QDs surface modification and for their conjugation to biomolecules for preparation of nanoplatforms for luminescent biomolecule sensing and imaging-guided targeting. Applications of conjugations of photoluminescent QDs with different biomolecules in both in vitro and in vivo chemical sensing, immunoassays or luminescence imaging are revised. Recent progress in application of functionalized QDs in ultrasensitive detection in bioanalysis, diagnostics and imaging strategies developments are here included. Finally, some key future research goals in the progress of bioconjugation of QDs for diagnosis are identified, including novel synthetic approaches, the need of exhaustive characterization of bioconjugates or the design of signal amplification schemes.
