Nanoparticle–biomolecule conjugate

Nanoparticle–biomolecule conjugates are like tiny robots that can help doctors learn more about our bodies. Scientists create these robots by attaching tiny particles (which are so small that you can't even see them!) to molecules that can be found in our bodies. Because the nanoparticles are so small, doctors can use them to enter tiny places in our bodies, and the molecules help them find information about the cells that live there. Together, these super tiny robots help scientists learn more about how our bodies work.
