28. NANOMEDICINES-

♤ Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology.Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology.

♤ Nanomedical approaches to drug delivery centre on developing nanoscale particles or molecules to improve drug bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to the presence of drug molecules where they are needed in the body and where they will do the most good. Drug delivery focuses on maximizing bioavailability both at specific places in the body and over a period of time. This can potentially be

achieved by molecular targeting bynanoengineered devices. It is all about targeting the molecules and delivering drugs with cell precision.
