Nanocarriers in medicine
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2013, Vol 67, Issue 2
Abstract
Each traditional drug introduced into the body is causing various side effects. This usually results from low specificity, difficulties in reaching its destination, and fast metabolism. To prevent this, in order to improve the biodistribution of the drug, reduce side effects and thus improve the quality of life of patients, intensive research on the use of nanotechnology developments in medicine is carried out. Drug nanocarriers, metal nanoparticles or polymer capsules are the most commonly used for this purpose. Additionally, to ensure effective treatment, rapid and accurate medical diagnosis is equally important. In this field the quantum dots with their specific optical properties closely connected with the size of the order of nanometers attract specific attention.
