Nano Technology in Medicine and Future Implications: A Mini Review

Khursheed Ahmad Wani and Richa Kothar

Nanoparticles hold great potential in the field of medicine. In this review we have discuuded some of the diseases that are treated by the use of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has gained interest in recent years almost in every field with special emphasis on nanomedicine and nanobiology. Nanosystems with different compositions and biological properties have been extensively investigated for drug and gene delivery applications. However, it is important to understand the interactions of nanomaterials with the biological environment, targeting cell-surface receptors, drug release, multiple drug administration, stability of therapeutic agents under consideration.
