Abstract
Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology to medicine. Nanomedicine aims to overcome unmet needs in disease management and treatment through interventions on the nanoscale that correlate with the operational scale of biological macromolecules inside cells. Although widely applicable for the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases nanomedicine is most progressed in research directed at the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Today, researchers are constantly developing new nanomaterials, nanodevices, and nanoparticles with different applications in mind. Of particular interest here are nanoparticles that are genuine particles (approx 100 nm in dimension). These nanoparticles are intended to enable the functional delivery of therapeutic agents to disease-target cells for treatment and/or of imaging agents to disease-target cells for diagnosis. They are assembled typically from “tool-kits” of different chemical components that act collectively to overcome biological barriers (biobarriers). The functional capabilities of nanoparticles should vary according to functional requirements. Fortunately the nanoscale allows for an impressive level of diversity in capabilities to enable corresponding nanoparticles to address an equally diverse range of functional requirements. Therefore, nanoparticles are now considered appropriate vehicles to lead to an integrated, personalized approach to diagnosis and therapy in healthcare, most especially where future cancer disease management is concerned.
