Abstract
Drug-resistant bacteria and highly infectious viruses are among the major global threats affecting the human health. There is an immediate need for novel strategies to tackle this challenge. Copper-based nanoparticles (CBNPs) have exhibited a broad antimicrobial capacity and are receiving increasing attention in this context. In this review, we describe the functionalization of CBNPs, elucidate their antibacterial and antiviral activity as well as applications, and briefly review their toxicity, biodistribution, and persistence. The limitations of the current study and potential solutions are also shortly discussed. The review will guide the rational design of functional nanomaterials for antimicrobial application. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease.
期刊介绍：
Nanotechnology stands as one of the pivotal scientific domains of the twenty-first century, recognized universally for its transformative potential. Within the biomedical realm, nanotechnology finds crucial applications in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine, highlighted as one of seven emerging research areas under the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research. The advancement of this field hinges upon collaborative efforts across diverse disciplines, including clinicians, biomedical engineers, materials scientists, applied physicists, and toxicologists.
Recognizing the imperative for a high-caliber interdisciplinary review platform, WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology emerges to fulfill this critical need. Our topical coverage spans a wide spectrum, encompassing areas such as toxicology and regulatory issues, implantable materials and surgical technologies, diagnostic tools, nanotechnology approaches to biology, therapeutic approaches and drug discovery, and biology-inspired nanomaterials. Join us in exploring the frontiers of nanotechnology and its profound impact on biomedical research and healthcare.
