NANOBIOPHARMACEUTICS
TIMELINE (1959~2009)
There have been numerous inventions and discoveries that made today's nanobiopharmaceutics field of science possible. Below is the timeline for the achievements and innovations of nanobiopharmaceutics and nanomedicine.
How small is the nanoscale?
The nanoscale of the nanomedicine makes it so versatile and revolutionary. The size of the nanoparticles make it so the nanomedicine can be used for fighting deadly diseases, like no medicine ever before.
What is nanotechnology?
A nanoparticle is a microscopic particle with at least one dimension less than 100nm. It is a field of science that requires an intense scientific research, because it can be applied in variety of biomedical, optical, and electronic fields. Nanoparticles can be used in nanobiopharmaceutics and nanomedicine by providing the possibility of delivering drugs to specific cells. It can also be applied in cancer treatment with iron nanoparticles or gold shells. Nanoscale particles improve drug bioavailability, which is the presence of drug molecules where they are needed in the boy and where they will do the most good. Therefore, nanoparticles can be designed to develop pharmacological and therapeutic properties of drugs.
