A system for delivering cardiac stem cells to damaged heart tissue is being developed by researchers at North Carolina State University to increase the number of stem cells delivered to the injured tissue. To detect cancer cells in the bloodstream, researchers at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute have developed antibodies attached to carbon nanotubes in chips. The researchers believe that this could provide early detection in the bloodstream of cancer cells. Thus, increasing application of nano-metal oxides in the field of medical and healthcare is anticipated to eventually drive the market growth.

Nano-Metal Oxides Market Challenges

Health Hazards From Nano-Metal oxides

The nanomaterials based sunscreen contains titania oxide and zinc oxide as UV light absorbing components, which are transparent due to their small size as it provides effective protection. Full UVA shielding is provided by organic active agents such as avobenzone but can cause skin irritation. There is growing concern about the use of nano-metal oxides, as they release free radicals upon absorption of UV radiation, which can damage DNA and can prove to be carcinogenic. Therefore, nanomaterial manufacturers typically provide coating particles that allow free radicals to recombine before entering the skin. Recent studies on nanomaterials, however, suggest that they may penetrate much deeper than micro-particles when applied to the skin, which may complicate the use of nano-metal oxides in cosmetics and may serve as a constraint on the demand for nano-metal oxides.
