Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary science capable of developing great advances in the most diverse areas. The interest in the use of nanoparticles (NPs) in biological applications is notorious, due to their physicochemical properties. This study aims to present the biological applications of nanoparticles in modern science, in order to show the prospects for advancement in the area of nanotechnology aimed at biological applications. For this, an exploratory bibliographic review of a qualitative nature was carried out based on public productions between the years 2010 to 2020. The acquisitions of the works were carried out on the platforms Nature, Science, Scielo, Science Direct, Web of Science, Google Academic and Latindex. A general approach on the properties of nanoparticles was carried out, emphasizing their biological applications. It can be seen that the main areas of biological application of nanoparticles are the production of drugs and detection of diagnoses at the cellular level. In addition, it is clear that the gold nanoparticle is the most used in current studies. Thus, the present study aims to serve as a subsidy for researchers in the nanotechnology area, presenting in an exploratory and descriptive way the studies published in the last decade.
