Nanomedicine is a branch of pharmaceutical science that combines the application of pharmaceuticals and nanotechnology. It aims to treat and manage disorders at the molecular level by using nanodevices and nanostructures. The demand for nanomaterials is increasing for both in vivo and in vitro biomedical research and application.
Nanomedicines have revolutionized drug delivery, diagnosis, and therapy. Several lipid—and polymer-based nanoparticles are designed to efficiently deliver drugs to the target sites. Nanomedicine aims to reduce the potential side effects of drugs and increase bioavailability, as the devices are smaller, more sensitive, and more efficient than typical drug delivery methods. The efficient drug action through nanomedicine is achieved by proper encapsulation of the drugs, successful delivery, and release at the desired location.
