Abstract
Nanomedicine is the advanced application of nanotechnology in the healthcare fields and it is one of the key technologies of the 21st century. A nanomedicine can be defined as the advanced applications of nanotechnology for the treatment, diagnosis, monitoring, and control of biological systems. Different sorts of nanocarrier (nanoparticles) are used for the manufacturing and to help delivery of target medicines. The term “nanomedicines” covers a number of materials and structures, for example, proteins, dendrimers, micelles, liposomes, polymers, emulsions, nanocapsules, nanoparticles, etc. Nanoparticles contain some exclusive properties and they can be used in conjunction with therapeutic components to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of debilitating diseases like cancer, diabetes and so on. As the human body is comprised of different types of molecules; the availability of molecular nanotechnology permits dramatic progress in human medical services. Nanomedicines provide vital scope for medical profession, primarily for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and eventually for the improvement of knowledge of natural human biological systems and its functions. It is a developing group of therapeutics that involve the understanding of phenomena on the nanometer scale. Nanomedicines research needs expertise in a range of diverse fields (Life Sciences, Physics & Chemistry) and requires multidisciplinary team members. Future applications of nanomedicine in medical science will be reflected by using nanorobots for detection and treatment of various diseases.
Highlights
The term ‘nano’ is derived from the Greek word for ‘dwarf’ and is used to describe structures and objects that are sized within the scale of 1 to 100 nanometers
Nanomedicine is an extensive and exciting field with almost endless possibilities, along with the feasibility for nanotechnology being used for applications ranging from the use of nanomaterials, nanoelectronic biosensors and has a wide range of future applications of molecular nanotechnology [1, 14, 18]
It is used for the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and control of biological systems and nanoparticles are used to improve the effect of drug substances
Summary
The term ‘nano’ is derived from the Greek word for ‘dwarf’ and is used to describe structures and objects that are sized within the scale of 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanomedicine is the advanced medical applications of nanotechnology. Medicine is one of the prominent arenas of nanotechnological revolution that escorted medical scientists toward new authentic methods which study pathologies and explore appropriate therapeutic applications by utilization of nanotechnology to operate on more specific molecular targets and to reduce the adverse risks and side effects that conventional methods enforce on patients [2]. Nanomedicine has a multidisciplinary nature that comprises the ideas and techniques derived from biology, chemistry, and physics [9]. It is used for the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and control of biological systems and nanoparticles are used to improve the effect of drug substances. As nanomedicines provide targeted drug delivery, it is used to overcome the Biomedical Sciences 2019; 5(4): 57-59 problem of conventional drug delivery methods [3]
