Abstract

Nanoparticles, nanostructures of variety of shapes, sizes and morphology are prominently being use for medical and disease diagnostics, element and impurity detection and monitoring of cells and tissues and in living beings. Recently, drug-delivery system based on nano-particle coating of drugs getting much attention and interest for the cure of cancer and heart diseases. The purpose is to increase the human health and safety from diseases by using novel nano-structures and devices. Number of drug-delivery systems like Oral, intranasal, parental and nano-networking etc. are discussed in detail. Detail view of synthesis techniques for different sizes, shapes and morphology of nano-architectures is described. These varieties of nano-structures and devices are specifically designed for delivering the drug in better and easy way to malfunctioning area in the human and living beings.
