NANOMEDICINE: A REVOLUTIONARY APPLICATION FOR THE EVOLVING GENERATION
Nano medicine is the branch of Nanotechnology which bridges the gap between
Medicine and Nano technology. Its addition to the medicinal field has seen many
revolutionary application that out casted the conventional method of treating
the diseases. Some of the important tools of Nano medicine include
Biocompatible Nano polymers, molecular science, bioelectric sensors, Nano
robots etc. These elements form the core of Nano medicine and innovative
applications such as diagnosis, delivery, sensing or actuation purposes in
living organisms.
The most recent advancement in Nano medicine is happening in this decade
saving millions of lives from various deadly diseases like cancer, AIDS
etc. The nanoparticles which are 10,000
times smaller than the width of the human hair is eliminating the pain enduring
chemotherapy procedures where it targets the cancer cells specifically and the
normal cell functioning is restored. The
diagnosis of lung cancer and detection of flu in humans have always been a
breath taking serious and tedious procedure for many years. But the development
of newer methodologies in Nano medicine experiments such as gold Nano particle
flu test and Nano pore discoveries has made done miracles in detecting the
diseases very accurately and in very short span of time.
Apart from this life saving measures developed using this Nanoscopic
particles, there are also several applications which are discovered and put
under study every day. The nanowires which are inserted directly into the human
cell are providing instant results of the drugs which are being tested on the human
body. This yields real time information of the drugs developed and helps in
designing better sophisticated drugs and medicine. The part played by Nano materials
in ophthalmology and rehabilitation engineering is again a very big deal to the
medicinal field. The nanotube which
replaces the damaged spines and nanoparticle based molecular medicine is again
providing an excellent replacement to the conventional, low efficient eye
drugs.
Owing to this enormous and vital application in diagnosis of lethal
diseases, it has also supports in the treatment of diseases by biocompatible Nano
bots which help in drug delivery and accurate sensing of abnormalities in the
fluid levels of the body. So, it is never overrated to exclaim that Nano
medicine is the next gen revolution in the domain of diagnosis and
therapeutics.
