ADVANCEMENT OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE

Nanotechnology is the study of extremely small structures of size ranging from 0.1 to 100 nm. It is a new field of technological innovation which finds application in human biology and medicine. Nanomedicine is the key aspect of 21st century. The main objective of nanomedicine is the overall monitoring, regulation and improvement of all human biological systems working at molecular level using nanostructures and engineered instruments to achieve medical advantages. Nanomedicine is being applied in various disciplines such as diagnostics, surgery, ophthalmology, neurology, oncology, drug delivery etc. Numerous nanocarriers have been used for the diagnostics purposes like quantum dots, nanoparticles, dendrimers, carbon nanotube, nanoshells, nanocrystals etc. However, the usage of nanomaterial also encounters various environmental and societal challenges, particularly in regard to toxicity. This review aims to highlight the major contributions of nanotechnology to modern medicine, opportunities, challenges in this field and also on the environmental and societal aspects of their use.
