Nanoparticles Applied for Therapy and Diagnosis in Common Diseases

There are different kinds of nanoparticles made for common diseases therapy these days, among which chitosan and some others, liking liposomes, polymers and so on, rank the top: Nowadays, many diseases are studied using gene or drug delivery instead of traditional therapy, or detected with imaging technique according to nanoparticles as well. In this review, we would like to go over nanoparticles applications on the basis of typical disease types, such as hemophilia, SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease), which belongs to genetic disorders, and Parkinson's disease, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), other acquired diseases like cancers, and common cardiovascular diseases. This review finds a new path to summarize the latest development of the application of nanoparticles, tracing various disease types and cases in order to provide an overview of specific treatment with specific nanoparticles for specific diseases so that we can clearly know the advantages and special performances of nanoparticles directing at certain disorders.
