nanomedicine

Nanomedicine is a branch of medicine that applies nanotechnology, which deals with materials and devices at an incredibly small scale—usually between 1 and 100 nanometers. This technology enables the development of new treatments and diagnostic tools, allowing for precise targeting of diseases at the cellular or molecular level. For example, nanoparticles can deliver drugs directly to cancer cells, reducing side effects and improving effectiveness. Nanomedicine holds promise for enhancing drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering, potentially transforming how we treat various medical conditions and improve patient outcomes.
