Nanotechnology in gastrointestinal endoscopy: A primer
Nanotechnology is the understanding, control of matter and development of engineered devices in nanometer range (1-100 nm). Nanoparticles have different physicochemical properties (small size, large surface area to volume ratio, and high reactivity) in comparison to bulk materials of the same compos...

Nanotechnology is the understanding, control of matter and development of engineered devices in nanometer range (1-100 nm).

Recent studies have shown its role in early diagnosis and targeted therapy of various gastrointestinal disorders such as hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus related liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, gastric ulcer, and malignancy.
