Περίληψη:	Many research fields are currently investigating nanocarriers with dual functions, which can be used both as therapeutic agents that deliver drugs and nutrients and as diagnostic platforms for monitoring the progress of a disease. Nanogels have great potential to fulfill this purpose, as they are multifunctional structures of natural or synthetic polymers with the ability to incorporate active molecules in a stimuli-responsive manner. In this chapter, recent works on theranostic nanogels are discussed. Emphasis is given to their characteristic properties and composition methods, which justify their numerous applications to this day. Nanogels’ applications in theranostics are also presented, including the great attention for cancer treatment and progress-recording, by encapsulating doxorubicin and magnetic particles or fluorescent substances. Illustrated bio-applications cover investigations on targeting illnesses, regenerating tissues, or having bactericidal action. This chapter focuses on the nanogels’ state-of-the-art as superior biomaterials for theranostics and may act as a future reference for research on this fascinating field.
