NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTH- A SHORT REVIEW

Applications of nanotechnology to medicine and physiology imply materials and devices designed to interact with the body at sub cellular (i.e., molecular) scales with a high degree of specificity. This can be potentially translated into targeted cellular and tissue-specific clinical applications designed to achieve maximal therapeutic efficacy with minimal side effects. The chief scientific and technical aspects of nanotechnology are introduced, and some of its potential clinical applications are mentionable.
