2. The monitoring, repairing,
construction and control of human
biological systems at the cellular
level with the help of
nanotechnology, materials and
structures engineered at the atomic
or molecular level.
3. Nano Medicine is very useful and can be
used for many things-
Antibiotic resistance
Immune Response
Visualization
Tissue engineering
Drug delivery
Surgery
Detecting diseases at molecular level
4. The rate at which the drug stays in
the body can be manipulated
Drugs that are normally injected can be ingested
Provides for requirement of lower doses
5. Nanoparticles made of metals such
as magnesium oxide are used
Coated with antibodies found
specifically in cancer cells
Nanoparticles localize around the
cancer cells
MRI done would show a more
detailed image of where the cancer
cells are
Injected into the body
6.
7. Aurmine, drug made of
Nanoparticles is directly injected
into the body
Consists of a gold particle,TNF, that is
attracted to the cancer cell
Emits leaky blood vessels near
the tumor site
The TNF binds to the tumor
Also has PEG-THIOL which protects
from being attacked by the immune
system
8.
9. Faster cures
Performing surgery within
body without leaving scars
Effectively targets only
infected cells
Reduces levels of drug
consumption
Targets diseased cells
Experiment of
nanomedicine called
TGN1412 developed
back pain and severe
headache followed by
swelling of necks and
heads and sudden fall in
blood pressure of the
volunteers
Engineered diseases
10. The future of nanomedicine is very
uncertain and needs to be balanced
but what scientists say is certain is
the usage of Nanorobots
11. Ability to enter cells and correct
DNA or a deficiency
Repair cells, tissues, and even organs
Carry tiny cameras and powered
from the electrolytes in the blood
Break up blood clots or even kidney
stones
