J Nanomed Res 2017, 6(1): 00144 Abstract Nanomedicine is now proposed as an alternative to classical way for diagnosis, imaging agents, delivery and targeting. For the past few decades, there has been a considerable research interest in the area of drug delivery using as different nanoscale carriers for small and large molecules including liposomes, nanoparticles, antibodies etc. There is an ur...

Carbon nanomaterials, including fullerenes, carbon nanohorns, and carbon nanotubes, are increasingly being used in various fields owing to these materials' unique, size-dependent functions and physicochemical properties. Recently, because of their high variability and stability, carbon nanomaterials have been explored as a novel tool for the delivery of therapeutic molecules including peptide a...

Nanotechnology is concerned with materials and systems whose structures and components exhibit novel physical, chemical, and biological properties due to their nanoscale size. This paper focuses on what is known as nanomedicine, referring to the application of nanotechnology to medicine. We consider the use and potentials of emerging nanoscience techniques in medicine such as nanosurgery, tissu...

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...
