Nanotechnology and its role in advancing Medicine

Nanotechnology a word stemmed from Greek origin means the dwarf. In the modern science, a nanometer means one billionth of a meter of something. The science of nanotechnology is therefore the ability to manipulate these tiny particles. Nanotechnology is increasingly employed to explore the unseen avenues of medical sciences. There are many types of nanoparticles that are used in medicine and other fields, gold particels, Dendrimers, Perfluorocarbon, Nanotube, Iron oxide and FeCo are just few types that are used in this field and will lead to personalized medicine and early target therapy [1]. This editorial will address just few of the different uses of Nanotechnology in Medicine;
