Upcoming Impression of Nanotechnology in Therapeutic Medicine

Science and technology at the nanoscale is acting as an important key to unlock many biological riddles that would have been unyielding a few years ago. Recently, silicon chip technology has emerged as the ability to manufacture at 100 nm and below, and microscopes that allow us not only to ‘see’ but to manipulate atoms and molecules have facilitated at the commence of the 21st century into the thick revolution of life sciences. Nanotechnology has matured into a dominant focus of research and development activities in the preceding two decades. Nanotechnology and nanomedicine are considered as complementary disciplines, aiming for better human life. Applications of nanotechnology to medicine and physiology consist of materials and devices, which are designed to interact with the body at molecular scale with a high degree of specificity. This finally results in their potential use into targeted cellular and tissue-specific clinical applications and helps in achieving maximal therapeutic efficacy with minimal side effects. Currently, nanotechnology and nanoscience are aiming particularly to design and formulate a platform to expand the market for many drugs and forming a basis of high profit to industry. Thus, in the present scenario, nanotechnology is proving beneficial in solving problems in different fields of medicine. In this paper, we will highlight and discuss the potential use of nanotechnology in clinical applications.
