Nanomedicine

Nanomedicine 1 Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology. Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology. Current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the issues related to toxicity and environmental impact of nanoscale materials. One nanometer is one-millionth of a millimeter.

Nanomedicine 1 Nanomedicine research is receiving funding from the US National Institutes of Health. Of note is the funding in 2005 of a five-year plan to set up four nanomedicine centers. In April 2006, the journal Nature Materials estimated that 130 nanotech- based drugs and delivery systems were being developed worldwide.

Nanomedicine - Overview 1 Terms such as biomedical nanotechnology, nanobiotechnology, and nanomedicine are used to describe this hybrid field

Nanomedicine - Overview 1 Nanomedicine seeks to deliver a valuable set of research tools and clinically useful devices in the near future

Nanomedicine - Overview 1 Nanomedicine is a large industry, with nanomedicine sales reaching $6.8 billion in 2004, and with over 200 companies and 38 products worldwide, a minimum of $3.8 billion in nanotechnology R&D is being invested every year. As the nanomedicine industry continues to grow, it is expected to have a significant impact on the economy.

Nanomedicine - Medical use of nanomaterials 1 Similarly, drug detoxification is also another application for nanomedicine which has shown promising results in rats

Nanomedicine - Drug delivery 1 However, the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nanomedicine is highly variable among different patients

Nanomedicine - Applications and reported research studies 1 The scientists expressed that LLVs are able to overcome a major hurdle in nanomedicine delivery by avoiding clearance in blood stream, crossing the biological barriers and localizing at target tissues due to its leukocyte like characters

Nanomedicine - Nanorobots 1 Nanomedicine would make use of these nanorobots (e.g., Computational Genes), introduced into the body, to repair or detect damages and infections

Nanomedicine - Nanonephrology 1 Nanonephrology is a branch of nanomedicine and nanotechnology that seeks to use nanomaterials and nanodevices for the diagnosis, therapy, and management of renal diseases. It includes the following goals:
