Trends in nanoscience and nanomedicine

Nanoscience and Nanomedicine are close interrelated and demonstration of this interrelation is the main purpose of this new journal. Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology/nanoscience. It is concerns to the use of precisely engineered materials at nanoscale length to develop novel therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials and biological devices, to nanoelectronic biosensors and more. Among the applications of nanomedicine are worth to mention: molecular diagnostics, nanodiagnostics, and improvements in the discovery, design and delivery of drugs, including nanopharmaceuticals/ nanotherapeutics. It will improve biological therapies such as vaccination, cell therapy and gene therapy. Nanobiotechnology is the basis of many new devices for medicine and surgery such as nanorobots. Every branch of medicine is developing by using nanoscience as cancer (nanooncology), neurological disorders (nanoneurology), cardiovascular disorders (nanocardiology), diseases of bones and joints (nanoorthopedics), diseases of the eye (nanoophthalmology), (nanodentistry) and infectious diseases. The main purpose of nanomedicine is the integration of diagnostics with nanotherapeutics in order to facilitate the development of personalized medicine, so that the prescription of specific therapeutics to be the best suited for an individual person.
