Abstract
Recent advances in nanotechnology are predicted to transform the traditional methods of engineering product design and production into the most cutting-edge, creative, and sophisticated patterns. The main obstacles limiting the increasingly popular commercial and medical uses of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are the ecological, financial, and practical limitations connected with the chemical, physical, and microbiological ways of manufacturing. The current literature supports the use of AuNPs having a variety of distinctive properties, such as surface plasmon resonance, magnetic properties (MRI), and fluorescence behavior that is reflected through conjugation with biological and biocompatible ligands, which makes them capable of playing a significant role in the medical diagnostic sector. In this chapter, the prospective new techniques for AuNPs-targeted therapies and the related treatments are indicated which promises in terms of possible clinical translation. Perspectives and future prospects are also examined.
