Nanobiotechnology,a Quantum Scientific Approach in 21st Century

Nanobiotechnology,a Quantum Scientific Approach in 21st Century

Nanobiotechnology,a quantum scientific approach in 21st century

Imagination is the key in human life and is the main force behind every development of human lifestyle. Considering the impact of science and technology on the human race, it is natural to think ‘Nothing is Impossible’.

Biotechnology is the application of biological research techniques to develop immense products for mankind. Whereas, nanobiotechnology is the application of nano-scaled tools to biological systems and the other is the use of biological systems as templates in the development of novel nano-scaled products. Simply a nano-biotechnology is the complex of nanotechnology and biotechnology. Each of these technologies has a tremendous impact by itself and therefore when they complement each other it results in efficacious fourth dimensional solutions.

Nanotechnology used in biotechnology usually called nanobiotechnology is definitely a life-saving innovation that has come as a boon to mankind. It involves the creation and use of materials and devices at the level of molecules and atoms for the development of Nanomedicine, Nanosensors, Nanofluidics and Nanofabrics. It is a valuable contribution of the profound research by scientists and engineers to create new systems with novel functionalities.

Nanomedicine is one of an offshoot of nanotechnology, refers to highly specific medical intervention at the molecular level for curing disease or repairing damaged tissues, such as bone, muscle, or nerve. The existing means of intake of drugs orally or through injections are becoming moderately effective but can be extremely painful due to the non-availability of accurate diagnosis. The concept of nanomedicine involves the newer methods to deliver drugs at the right place, time, and amounts in the body. Scientists and engineers have developed new systems where the human-body parameters are monitored using a techno-monitor (semiconductor chip) that is placed inside a human body. These chips are the “nano” machines which are compatible with living tissues and can be safely operated inside the body.

For example: When a patient is being treated for diabetes, the semiconductor chip monitors the blood-sugar levels and passes on the information to the device outside of the body. The external device, in turn, instructs the semiconductor chip that acts as the drug delivery system, to release the right amounts of insulin into the blood, thus causing less or no side effects to the patient.

The approach of nanomedicine is versatile and will completely revolutionize the diverse branches of medicine in near future. It involves the application of nanoparticles for cancer imaging and therapy, drug delivery for prostate cancer and nanowire devices for virus detection and cancer screening too. Thus, nanomedicine is simply the preservation and improvement of human health

Nanomedicine, Vol. I: Basic Capabilities

Nanomedicine, Vol. I: Basic Capabilities

Molecular nanotechnology has been defined as the three-dimensional positional control of molecular structure to create materials and devices to molecular precision. The human body is comprised of molecules, hence the availability of molecular nanotechnology will permit dramatic progress in human medical services. More than just an extension of “molecular medicine,” nanomedicine will employ molecular machine systems to address medical problems, and will use molecular knowledge to maintain and i

Nanotechnology and drug delivery

Approximately 99 per cent of medicinal molecules don’t reach their targets and subsequently, stay in the body of the patient. As these molecules can sometimes be very toxic – particularly in the case of those designed to target cancers – research is being undertaken into more effective ways of safely transporting and delivering drugs. A challenge for nanotechnology in this research is to create a device which can carry a drug payload to it’s target, be monitored throughout it’s journey and deliver, without being attacked and destroyed by the body’s natural defences. This calls for something which possesses stealth design characteristics and a plausible device is described here in this movie. This is one of a selection of intriguing movies which are available for free download from the EPSRC Nanotechnology Image Library at : www.nanoscience.dept.shef.ac.uk You may also be interested in navigating to the “Soft Machines” site belonging to Professor Richard Jones – who features in this movie – for up-to-date discourse on all things nano.
