Nanotechnology in Agricultural Practices: Prospects and Potential

Recent Advances in Nanotechnology: Potential Prospects in Neuromedicine and Neurosurgery

The pathological correlation of brain lesions that led to the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) neoplasia, vascular lesions, and spinal disorders were documented to be due to the progressive affirmation of Neuroscience and Neurosurgery. The introduction of ventriculogram, and angiography in the second and third decade were among the reported techniques that provided the possibility for ...

Nanotechnology in agriculture: prospects and constraints

Attempts to apply nanotechnology in agriculture began with the growing realization that conventional farming technologies would neither be able to increase productivity any further nor restore ecosystems damaged by existing technologies back to their pristine state; in particular because the long-term effects of farming with "miracle seeds", in conjunction with irrigation, fertilizers, and pest...

Prospects of Nanotechnology in Clinical Immunodiagnostics

Nanostructured materials are promising compounds that offer new opportunities as sensing platforms for the detection of biomolecules. Having micrometer-scale length and nanometer-scale diameters, nanomaterials can be manipulated with current nanofabrication methods, as well as self-assembly techniques, to fabricate nanoscale bio-sensing devices. Nanostructured materials possess extraordinary ph...

Best practices in cancer nanotechnology: perspective from NCI nanotechnology alliance.

Historically, treatment of patients with cancer using chemotherapeutic agents has been associated with debilitating and systemic toxicities, poor bioavailability, and unfavorable pharmacokinetics. Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems, on the other hand, can specifically target cancer cells while avoiding their healthy neighbors, avoid rapid clearance from the body, and be administered wit...
