Abstract

Introduction: After the outbreak of the Coronavirus and the epidemic of its attributed disease worldwide, many scientists decided to use new strategies to diagnose, prevent and treat the coronavirus-caused disease. Nanotechnology, with a wide range of applications in various sciences, including medicine, helps to progress and solve many of its problems. Nanosystems with unique features have a special place in drug delivery and biomolecule transport. They can transfer antiviral and other drugs that face the coronavirus through different mechanisms in the blood plasma and between cells. Likewise, viral components and antibodies against them are moved between cellular and subcellular boundaries by some of these systems.

Conclusion: This study investigated the application of nanosystems in targeted drug delivery, vaccination, and diagnosis of corona disease.
