Recent Trends of Gelatin Nanoparticles in Biomedical Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Nanomaterials

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 79))

Abstract

Today’s scenario is nanoscience and nanotechnology performing significant contributions of protein nanoparticles (PNPs) for delivery of various life savings biomolecules. Among the various PNPs, gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) exhibit good capabilities for biomedical application because of their biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicities and its cost-effectiveness. In this chapter, we have discussed different methods for GNPs preparation and their functionalization for target delivery of drugs and genes  for a range of diseases like cancer, malarial and infectious. We also discussed ocular, pulmonary drugs as well as nutraceutical, proteins and peptides delivery. We also come across their application in tissue engineering.
