Nanotechnology and Its Applications to Medicine

 

Nanotechnology is a nearly new part of science which incorporates control of properties of issue at nanoscale. The reason of nanotechnology lies in the proof that the properties of a component or compound can be controlled effectively when it exists in its nanoform (diameter of 1-100nm). The broad clarification of nanotechnology demonstrates to the specific mechanical goal of unequivocally controlling particles for fabrication and atoms of macroscale items, additionally now presented as atomic nanotechnology.

Now a days there are more interesting with nanotechnology and its applications in several sectors specially in medication for conclusions, remedial and research biomedical devices. It tends to be characterized as any cycle or strategy used to create material in nano-scale structure with particle size ranged from 1-100 nm. So nanotechnology has solidly entered the medication conveyance domain to augment drug restorative action and limit its bothersome results. In this we manage both nanoparticles and nano-filaments and their applications in clinical field. Nano-particles have exceptional properties from its little size with high surface area therefore it provides larger than particle numbers from that prepared with convention methods. Moreover, nanoparticles can be utilized to improve different medication bio-accessibility from its biodegradability and bio-similarity. Nano-strands have gigantic surface region to volume proportion which increment its presentation in a few applications. Nano-fiber delivered by means of electrospinning measure (straightforward and have high creation rate). It can be used in many applications such as drug release and protective clothes, tissue engineering scaffold, water filtration, wounds, fiber composites.

Applications of Nanotechnology:

Since different cell types have different properties, nanotechnology can be used to “recognise” cells of interest. This allows to identify drugs and therapeutics to reach diseased tissue while avoiding healthy cells. Nanomaterials are at the leading edge of the fastly developing field of nanotechnology. Their unique size-dependent properties make these materials superior and indispensable in many areas of human life. This brief review tries to summarise the most recent innovative developments in the field of applied nanomaterials, in particular their application in biology and medicine, and discusses their commercialisation prospects.
