Note  : The most famous example of a nanosensor used in medicine is cadmium selenide (CDTE). This compound works to detect cancerous tumors using fluorescence properties.
The sensor probe made in this way can be inserted into the cell membrane without damaging it and can be used for biomolecular and clinical studies. In general, a biosensor nanosensor assembly consists of a bioreceptor molecule such as DNA or an antibody that is embedded in a very thin fiber. This set can be used as a probe to insert a specific species into the cell  and to decompose the species inside the cell using conventional ammetric methods.


A biosensor is a group of sensors. These sensors are designed to react with only one specific substance. The result of this reaction is messages that a microprocessor can analyze. These sensors are used to detect and quantify species in biological systems. Biosensors have attracted the attention of many research centers in recent years. Because biosensors are a powerful tool for  identifying biological molecules, today they are used in various medical sciences, chemical industries, food industries, environmental monitoring, production  of pharmaceuticals, health products and so on. 



Conclusion : 

The most famous example of a nanosensor used in medicine is cadmium selenide (CDTE). This compound works to detect cancerous tumors  using fluorescence properties.
