ABSTRACT
Nano-technology refers to an emerging field of science that includes synthesis and development
of various nanomaterials. Now a days nano-particles are used to treat various chronic and acute
diseases such (diabetes, cancer etc). Nanotechnology in diabetes research has facilitated the
development of novel glucose measurement and insulin delivery modalities which hold the
potential to dramatically improve quality of life for diabetics. The ideal treatment for DM is to find
a less expensive anti-diabetic substitute that can work on numerous disease-related targets and
pathways. Exciting new opportunities in biological and medication delivery applications have been
made possible by nanotechnology. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs), one of the emerging
nanoparticle agents, have significant implications for treating numerous diseases, including DM.
The inherent drawbacks of conventional cancer treatments served as a catalyst for the development
and application of various nanotechnologies for safer and more effective cancer treatment, a field
referred to as cancer nanomedicine. Despite tremendous technological progress in this area, the
complexity and unpredictability of cancer patients tumour biology continue to be the key obstacles
to nanomedicine's establishment of a new paradigm in cancer therapy.
