Nanomedizin: Ein neues wirksames Medikament für die Behandlung von Gesundheitskrankheiten

Applications of nanotechnology for screening, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases are summarized under the term nanomedicine - an emerging field that has the potential to revolutionize the health of individuals and populations in the 21st century. Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary area that encompasses a wide and diverse range of devices from engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. The new field of nanotechnology, unlocked by rapid advances in science and technology, opens up countless new possibilities for advancing medical science and the treatment of diseases in healthcare. Applications of nanotechnology in medicine and physiology involve materials and devices designed to interact with the body at the subcellular (i.e., molecular) level, achieving maximum therapeutic efficacy with minimal side effects. Therefore, it is important to investigate and explore the potential applications and impacts of nanomedicine from a public health perspective. This book presents the scientific and technical aspects of nanotechnology and discusses some of its potential clinical applications.
