NANOTECHNOLOGY: THE COMING REVOLUTION IN MODERN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Nanotechnology is a wide field that covers a variety of devices derived from engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. The promising new field of nanotechnology, created up by rapid advances in life science and technology, gained countless new opportunities for modern medical science and disease treatment in human health care. Among the various researches in delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents for the diagnosis and treatment of a number of diseases. The development of nanopharmaceuticals achieved a lot of importance over first few years. The goal of this paper was aimed to discuss the different formulation techniques available and their characterization procedures. This review also incoporates the importance of nanotechnology in diagnosis and cure of several critical diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
