Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (N&N) are new approaches to research phenomena at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale. This new approach can be applied to microbial biofilms, which are formed when bacterial and/or yeast cells adhere to abiotic and biotic surfaces. It is well known that microorganisms in biofilms have a d...

Biomedical nanotechnologies are currently being applied to Nanodiagnostics, and several of them are in different phases of development. This review describes biomedical nanotechnologies that have either been deployed or have potential commercial applications in clinical diagnostics. Nanodiagnostics refer to the use of biomedical nanotechnology in diagnostics, and biomedical nanotechnology is th...

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 ot...

The term “Nanotechnology” describes a large field of scientific and technical activities dealing with objects components small dimensions. Typically, bodies that are in–at least–two dimensions smaller than 0.1 µm regarded as “nanobjects”. By this definition, lot advanced materials, well the electronic devices, nanotechnology. In addition, many aspects molecular biotechnology macromolecular supe...

Journal of Futures Studies, February 2008, 12(3): 71 82 The realm of nanotechnology is in its pioneering stage, similar to what quantum science was in the 1920's and 1930's (Atkinson, 2005, p.34). Like our scientific discoveries of the atom, nuclear fission, DNA, space travel, and the human genome, science has extended human consciousness, enabling humans to ponder in new ways their relationshi...

The importance of nanotechnology in medical technologies, especially biomedical diagnostics, is indubitable. By taking advantages of nanomaterials, many medical diagnostics methods have been developed so far, including electrochemical nanobiosensors. They have been used for quantification of different clinical biomarkers for detecting, screening, or follow up a disease. microRNAs (miRNAs) are o...

nowadays nanotechnology as a new direction of science allows us to develop therapeutic methods of the endogenous intoxication syndrome and to create a new class of biocompatible sorbents. in ukraine first preparations of medical nanotechnology were produced and patented in 1998. these are ikbb (intracorporeal biocorrector), magnet-controlled sorbent (mcs-b), and micromage-b. the preparations ar...

Over the last few decades, the achievements and progress in the field of medical imaging have dramatically enhanced the early detection and treatment of many pathological conditions. The development of new imaging modalities, especially non-ionising ones, which will improve prognosis, is of crucial importance. A number of novel imaging modalities have been developed but they are still in the in...
