Nano Medicine to Reveal Signs of Disease


Nanotechnology consists of the processing of, separation, consolidation, and deformation of materials by one atom or one molecule. More broadly, nanotechnology includes the many techniques used to create structures at a size scale below 100 nm. The biological and medical research communities have exploited the unique properties of nanomaterials for various applications


Nanomedicine
Nanotechnology has become a new advent of medicine (nano-medicine). The use of nanotechnology in medicine offers some exciting possibilities. Some techniques are only imagined, while others are at various stages of testing, or actually being used today. Two main approaches are used in nanotechnology: one is a “bottom-up” approach where materials and devices are built up atom by atom, the other a “top-down” approach where they are synthesized or constructed by removing existing material from larger entities. Nanotechnology in medicine involves applications of nanoparticles currently under development, as well as longer ranges research that involves the use of manufactured nano-robots to make repairs at the cellular level (referred to as nanomedicine). Nanotechnology-on-a-chip is one more dimension of lab-on-a-chip technology. Biological tests measuring the presence or activity of selected substances become quicker, more sensitive and more flexible when certain nanoscale particles are put to work as tags or labels.

The overall drug consumption and side-effects can be lowered significantly by depositing the active agent in the morbid region only and in no higher dose than needed. This highly selective approach reduces costs and human suffering. A targeted or personalized medicine reduces the drug consumption and treatment expenses resulting in an overall societal benefit by reducing the costs to the public health system.

Nanotechnology can help to reproduce or to repair damaged tissue. This so-called “tissue engineering” makes use of artificially stimulated cell proliferation by using suitable nanomaterial-based scaffolds and growth factors.
Applications of medical nanotechnology
Applications of medical nanotechnology span across a variety of areas such as in Drugs, Medicines, Therapeutics: in Diagnostics of diseases, abnormal conditions etc., in Surgery, in Medical Robotics, in the general sake of increasing knowledge of the human body, etc.

Advanced Materials Engineering

The field of materials science, also commonly termed as materials science and engineering it is described as discovery of new materials, particularly solids and its properties & applications.
Materials that are utilized in high-technology applications are termed as Advanced materials. These advanced materials are typically traditional materials whose properties have been enhanced, and also newly developed, high-performance materials. Furthermore, they may be of all material types (e.g., metals, ceramics, polymers), and are normally expensive.
Advanced materials include semiconductorsbiomaterials, and smart materials and nanoengineered materials.
The properties and applications of a number of these advanced materials—for example, materials that are used for lasers, integrated circuits, magnetic information storage, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and fiber optics.
The material of choice of a given era is often a defining point. Phrases such as Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Steel Age are historic if arbitrary examples. Originally deriving from the manufacture of ceramics and its putative derivative metallurgy, materials science is one of the oldest forms of engineering and applied science.

Fundamentals:
A material is defined as a substance (most often a solid, but other condensed phases can be included) that is intended to be used for certain applications. There are a myriad of materials around us—they can be found in anything from buildings to spacecraft. Materials can generally be further divided into two classes: crystalline and non-crystalline

Nano Medicine to Reveal Signs of Disease


Nano Medicine is a rising trend in the medical field, as nano medicinal particles have been well documented for their antagonistic activity against fungi, viruses and bacteria and has given rise to new insights in antibiofilm research.


To define nanomedicine is a “science that uses nanomaterials to the development of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of specific medical approaches or application.


The main advantage of using nanomedicine compared with traditional medicine is the use of analytical tools and treatments, such as nanoparticles. In this context, nanoparticles or nano molecules can overcome cellular and physiological barriers and allow for imaging and diagnostic applications at the cellular and molecular levels because of their nanoscale dimension.

In the part of the investment process nanotechnology research is devoted to nanomedicine, which includes the development of complex drug delivery systems and advanced therapeutic and imaging techniques. Many treatments using nanomaterials are already available on the global market, including hormone therapy, appetite controllers, bone implants, and nano drugs for the treatment of cancer. Other products are in clinical phases of development.

The improvement of this technology has been developed innovations in different medical or pharm fields. That includes molecular imaging, biomarkers controlled drug delivery, and biosensing.
Many pharmaceutical, agriculture and food Industries have encouraged and supported research in Nanotechnology.
