Nanomedicine

There is a unique research growth in Nano-science research especially in recent years. There is growing optimism that nanotechnology applied to medicine will bring better diagnosis and cure for many diseases. However, researchers must prevail over many challenges; they must meet the better understanding of physiological basis of disease. Research must also bring advanced diagnostic capability, and produce better treatment concepts. Both the anticipation and the hopefulness of it becoming reality caused governmental science and funding associations to take on the challenge of advancing Nanomedicine. Their main intents are to evaluate potential opportunities for better healthcare, and risk-benefit assessment to decide precedence for future funding. Nanomedicine is a subsidiary result of nanotechnology, it points to a very specific medical intervention at molecule level for curing disease or repairing damaged tissues. A nanometer is one-millionth of a millimeter; biological molecular structures are at the level equal to or less than 100 nanometers. This points to how delicate Nanomedical devices and delivering drug molecules is.[1]

History of Nanomedicine

The idea of Nanomedicine came into view with a dream of a scientifically built biological magic bullet targeting disease at cell level. That dream speculated by Paul Ehrlich in 1906, represents a part of captivating Ehrlich’s series of theories. In 1897, Ehrlich suggested his theory on immunology that cells hold specific receptors for antigens; he suggested that cells release these...
