Abstract

Iron issues have been linked to a rising variety of refractory diseases, raising doubts about whether iron is the primary connection in etiology and pathology. Nanomaterials were transformed into diverse forms with functionalization aiming at diverse internalization processes. Their nanoscale size permits medications to penetrate cells or the extracellular environment. The original iron enrichment could be employed to fight diseases, including cancer. The effects of IONPs and intracellular iron load on macrophages is also unknown, giving the possibility for future alteration of macrophage phenotypes based on diverse situations.

 

The data may be utilized to establish important patterns for disease risk prediction and prevention. Nano-sensing technology that reveals iron-regulating situations may deliver fresh insights into safety assessment of iron-based nanomaterials. Long-term stress caused by iron in cells and tissues does not create acute toxicity, but rather long-term damage. A better knowledge of iron homeostasis will result in further diagnostic and therapeutic applications employing nanotechnology.
