Application of nanomaterials in the field of nanomedicine

The application of nanomaterials in the field of nanomedicine has attracted the attention of researchers since 1990. Therefore, this review addresses a brief discussion about the importance of nanostructure in the field of medicine. The application of nanomedicine requires good understanding of the behavior of the materials as a function of microstructure. Significant progress has been made in various aspects of synthesis of nano-scale materials for medicine field. Biosensor of 10 nanomaters was made using boron-doped silicon by Charles Lieber of Harvard University. The presence of biomolecule on the nanowires altered the properties such as conductivity, this could help to detect any biomolecules adhered on the nanosurface. Nanostructure of precious metals of gold and silver atoms could be applied in the treatment of some diseases. The gold atoms have an effect on cancer cells, especially, after operation. It was found that gold atoms can detect and kill cells of cancer, which have been left after tumor removal operation. The layered nanomaterials will be tested as a candidate for drug delivery and trapper for harmful anions. The future of nanomedicine is promising by working towards every known human disease, also the protection of the human body against all forms of infections.
