**5. Conclusion**

Nanotechnology in biomedical field focuses on improving the existing therapies and diagnostic methods. The aim of developments in this area is to improve the available practice efficiency and reusability, thus saving the total medical cost. Presently, TNA nanostructure provides a promising approach for the advanced biomedical implant and nanomedicine applications. Furthermore, TNA opens up the possible tie-up in nanotherapeutics, nanodiagnostics and nano-biosensors. Further research must be conducted to explore nanomaterialbiomolecular interactions in order to develop novel or improved biomaterials products for medicine and health-line services.
