NANOMEDICINE
Authors
Abstract:
Since its original conception in 1959, by Nobel physicist Richard P Feynman, the notion of nanotechnology and its potential ramifications have not only created fascination,but also intense scientific efforts and scrutiny. One of the most promising applications of nanotechnology is in the context of medicine. Due to their unique size-dependent properties nanomaterials such as nanoparticles offer the possibility to develop both new therapeutic and diagnostic tools. This applied nanotechnology to medical problems has been proposed as nanomedicine by NIH. Nanomedicine can offer new concepts that are reviewed. Specific attention is given to the development and basic approach of this new technique and give some principle definition of nanosized-particle and its application in treatment, diagnosis, monitoring and control of biological system. The future of nanomedicine and their applications of diseases of different organs will be reviewed later.

Before going to the gym for a workout or after indulging in cake at the office party, people with diabetes can use a portable monitor to take a quick blood glucose measurement and adjust their food or insulin intake to prevent extreme dips or spikes in blood sugar. The inexpensive finger-prick testing devices that allow diabetics to check their glucose levels throughout the day may sound like s...

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology seeking to exploit distinct technological advances of controlling the structure of materials at a reduced dimensional scale approaching individual molecules and their organised aggregates or supramolecular structures. These technological innovations, referred to as nanomedicines by the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD, USA), have the potential...
full textIntroduction to Nanomedicine.
Although mentions of nanoparticles in relation to biomedicine appeared in the late 1970s and are now the subject of over 10,000 publications per year, the term “Nanomedicine” only appeared at the turn of this century, and less than 30 papers including this term were published up to 2005. Ten years later, Web of Science indicates the publication of more than 1000 Nanomedicine articles in 2015 am...

full textTransformable liquid-metal nanomedicine
To date, numerous inorganic nanocarriers have been explored for drug delivery systems (DDSs). However, the clinical application of inorganic formulations has often been hindered by their toxicity and failure to biodegrade. We describe here a transformable liquid-metal nanomedicine, based on a core-shell nanosphere composed of a liquid-phase eutectic gallium-indium core and a thiolated polymeric...
