Nanoparticle albumin-bound technology utilizes the protein albumin as a carrier for hydrophobic chemotherapy drugs through noncovalent binding. Because albumin is already a natural carrier of hydrophobic particles and is able to transcytose molecules bound to itself, albumin composed nanoparticles have become an effective strategy for the ...
Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology. [1] Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials and biological devices, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology such as biological machines.
Carbon nanotube technology has shown to have the potential to alter drug delivery and biosensing methods for the better, and thus, carbon nanotubes have recently garnered interest in the field of medicine. The use of CNTs in drug delivery and biosensing technology has the potential to revolutionalize medicine.
Nanotechnology is giving rise to nanographene batteries that can store energy more efficiently and weigh less. [26] Lithium-ion batteries have been the primary battery technology in electronics for the last decade, but the current limits in the technology make it difficult to densify batteries due to the potential dangers of heat and explosion ...
[5] [6] Nanobiotechnology, on the other hand, refers to the ways that nanotechnology is used to create devices to study biological systems. [7] In other words, nanobiotechnology is essentially miniaturized biotechnology, whereas bionanotechnology is a specific application of
Researchers from the University of British Columbia have developed a "groundbreaking coating" that could make blood-contacting devices safer. Dr. Jayachandran Kizhakkedathu discusses the benefits.
Gold nanoparticle technology shows promise in the advancement of cancer treatments. Some of the properties that gold nanoparticles possess, such as small size, non-toxicity and non-immunogenicity make these molecules useful candidates for targeted drug delivery systems.
