Nanobiotecnologia no desenvolvimento e inovação de biossensores para aplicação na área biomédica: uma revisão da literatura

Abstract

Nanobiotechnology is an interface area between nanotechnology and biotechnology that has shown constant growth in different areas. Among these areas of application is the biomedical area, notably diagnostic medicine, with the development of rapid and accurate diagnostic systems, known as biosensors. These devices present an advance in the diagnosis of diseases, as they are devices that can diagnose the disease from the earliest stages, presenting selectivity, specificity and sensitivity comparable to conventional methods. Furthermore, they have several advantages, particularly highlighting their agility in response time. The purpose of this work was to analyze and describe the use of biosensors in the biomedical area in light of the growing development of new diagnostic and screening tools through a narrative review of the literature. Eight research articles were selected that met the acceptance criteria and were subdivided into four topics, being the biosensor used for glucose monitoring, cancer detection, detection of infectious diseases and detection of hepatotoxicity. It was concluded that biosensor systems will be increasingly present in the routine of pharmacies and clinical analysis laboratories in light of the new RDC 786, of May 5, 2023.
