Applying Nanotechnology to Human Health: Revolution in Biomedical Sciences

Nanodiagnostics: A Revolution in Biomedical Nanotechnology

Biomedical nanotechnologies are currently being applied to Nanodiagnostics, and several of them are in different phases of development. This review describes biomedical nanotechnologies that have either been deployed or have potential commercial applications in clinical diagnostics. Nanodiagnostics refer to the use of biomedical nanotechnology in diagnostics, and biomedical nanotechnology is th...

Nanotechnology in the Environmental Health Sciences

For modern biology, precise genome annotations are of prime importance, as they allow the accurate definition of genic regions. We employ state-of-the-art machine learning methods to assay and improve the accuracy of the genome annotation of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The proposed machine learning system is trained to recognize exons and introns on the unspliced mRNA, utilizing recent...

Russia and the Nanotechnology Revolution

In April 2007, then Russian president Vladimir Putin extolled nanotechnology research as the key to establishing Russia’s competitive advantage in the hightech world economy and the next round of the arms race. Ever since, the Kremlin has embraced nanotechnology as a strategic linchpin to its long-term global resurgence, asserting state stewardship and pouring billions into boosting the sector....

Applying the Precautionary Principle to Nanotechnology

The development of molecular nanotechnology (MNT) carries numerous risks, including the production of potentially unhealthy nanoparticles, the possible creation of tiny, destructive, self-replicating robots, and many others. The Precautionary Principle is often invoked when dealing with situations that might be hazardous; however, the label "Precautionary Principle" is attached to at least two ...
