| Summary: | The idea of nanoparticles, nanotechnology, and their
applications to medicine could have emerged from the increase
in the incidences of malignancies, due to the paucity of safe
and effective anti-cancer drugs, and lack of sensitive diagnostic
tools. Also, because there is an increase in the treatment
failures due to the emergence of multi-drug resistant microbial
infections, the medical, scientific and the research fraternity
had started to look for better and efficient alternatives in the
form of nanotechnology. The nanotechnology has a wide
spectrum of applications including the fields of engineering,
agriculture, and pharmacy. The nanoparticles have a wide array
of applications in the field of medicine that includes but not
limited to preparation of pharmaceutical drugs and drug
delivery vehicles, improve diagnostic capabilities, and
regenerative medicine. |
