Abstract

The rapid advances in nanotechnology have paved way toward a sustainable path by providing innovative solutions with the issues related to ecosystem as well as human health. In terms of human healthcare and therapy, nanoparticles are expected to contribute to drug delivery and regenerative medicine with its ability to target the source of disease with increased efficiency and minimal side effects. Thus by miniaturizing the drug delivery systems, treatment of several diseases can be made possible. Nanomedicine offers several advantages, such as protection of the payload from degradation in both in vitro and in vivo milieu, facilitation of controlled release of entrapped drugs, prolonged therapeutic effect, and enhancement of targeted delivery along with diminished side effects. Nanotechnology has proved to address some of the problems related to diagnostics, therapeutics, and biomedical aspects. Accordingly, this chapter mainly emphasizes on the evolution of nanoparticles to meet the challenges relevant to healthcare system.
