Nanowire Nanosensors for Biological and Medical Application

A comprehensive review on the biomedical frontiers of nanowire applications

“…Nanowires are relatively small in size, which allows for insertion into cells for intracellular sensing, nanowires have great potential for use in medical diagnostics [ 59 ]. Their high surface area to volume ratio makes it possible to directly modify electrical or optical properties by target binding, leading to sensitive label-free biomarker quantification [ 60 ].…”
