Book Chapter Description

Nowadays, there are huge worldwide interests in applications of nanotechnology in different fields of biomedicine. Hence, several studies evaluated different methods of synthesis of metal nanoparticles and their composites. The use of physical and chemical procedures in the preparation of metallic nanomaterial is now unlimited due to the use of toxic chemicals which resulted in environmental pollution and health risk. However, the biosynthesis of nanomaterials using microorganisms and medicinal plants showed useful tools in bio-nanotechnology, safer use, low cost, and available for large-scale production. Metal nanoparticles can be used in different biomedical applications as detection and treatment of tumors, diagnosis of infection, cancer detection and therapy, drug delivery, agriculture, molecular sensing, and medicine. The present chapter will illustrate the efficiency of green production, types, and biomedical benefits of nanosized metals. The mechanism of their activity and suspected toxicity were briefly discussed.
