Synthesis
Nanotechnology in Medicine Application: Drug Delivery
The technology is advancing at exponential speed and it is being been smaller every time, the nanotecnology with their applications. So that the scientist and researches try to create something that solves the peoples life, specially cancer in people, one application of nanotechnology in medicine currently being developed involves employing nanoparticles to deliver drugs, heat, light or other substances to specific types of cells. Some companies are working hard in the nanoparticles, like CytImmune and BIND Biosciences. The principal action of this particles are: Nanoparticles deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to cancer cells Applies heat to the cell. Researchers are using gold nanorods, when Infrared light illuminates the cancer tumor the gold nanorod absorbs the infrared light, turning it into heat. The heat both releases the chemotherapy drug and helps destroy the cancer cells. Researchers are developing a method to increase the immune response generated by vaccines and also they are developing a nanoparticle to defeat viruses. The nanoparticle does not actually destroy viruses molecules, but delivers an enzyme that prevents the reproduction of viruses molecules in the patients bloodstream.
