Nanomedicine and drug delivery
Nanotechnology offers some exciting possibilities in medicine Science. Application of Nanotechnology in nanomedicine involves two main techniques i.e. Diagnostic technique and Therapeutic technique. Nanoflares are nanoparticles which are designed bind to genetic targets in cancer cells and generate light when that particular genetic target is found. Applications of nanoparticles are currently under development, as well as longer range research that involves the use of manufactured nanorobots to make repairs at the cellular level. Solutions such as nanoformulations with a triggered release for tailor-made pharmacokinetics, nanoparticles for local control of tumor in combination with radiotherapy, and functionalized nanoparticles for targeted in-vivo activation of stem cell production are anticipated to drive R&D, consequently resulting in revenue generation in the coming years. Nanosponges which are polymer nanoparticles coated with a red blood cell membrane are used for removing the toxin from the bloodstream.
