Diseases have always been a disconcerting issue and changed into being an inevitable member of the world’s population. Medical advancements brought in improved treatments for particular ailments, but unfortunately those betterments resulted either side effects or turned out futile to certain extent. The emergence nanotechnology has considerably benefitted medical experts disease diagnosis thera...

This study investigates the relationship between food neophobia, satisfaction with life and food-related life, and acceptance of the use of nanotechnology in food production. Questionnaire data was collected from a sample of 400 supermarket shoppers in southern Chile. The questionnaire measured knowledge of nanotechnology and willingness to purchase food products involving nanotechnology, and i...

The patch clamp is a fundamental tool for neuroscientists, offering insights that have shaped our understanding of the brain. Advances in nanotechnology suggest that the next generation of recording methods is now within reach. We discuss the complexity and future promise of applying nanoscience to neural recording.

Saliva can be easily obtained in medical and non-medical settings, and contains numerous bio-molecules, including those typically found in serum for disease detection and monitoring. In the past two decades, the achievements of high-throughput approaches afforded by biotechnology and nanotechnology allow for disease-specific salivary biomarker discovery and establishment of rapid, multiplex, an...

We describe current and possible future developments in nanotechnology for biological and medical applications. Nanostructured, composite materials for drug delivery, biosensors, diagnostics and tumor therapy are reviewed as examples, placing special emphasis on silica composites. Carbon nanotubes are discussed as a primary example of emerging nanomaterials for many of the above-mentioned appli...

Nanotechnology is rapidly emerging as a transformational influence on many industry sectors. This is particularly true of medicines and medical devices. This article argues that, as policy interest in devising an appropriate regulatory framework for nanotherapeutics escalates, it will be important for public health to ensure that a broad life-cycle approach to both safety and cost-effectiveness...

This paper provides a technical survey on recent developments of nanorobots in medical applications. The recent advancement of nanotechnology leads to nanorobots, which are effectively used as nanomedicine to perform treatments even at the cellular level. Much research work has been carried out based on the nanorobots such as diagnosing, treating, preventing disease, some traumatic injury, of r...

The Aim of the research in the Medical Engineering field is the development of the new diagnosis tool and therapeutic tools for the medical fields. One example of the research theme is an artificial internal organs based on Nano-technology. As for an implantable type artificial organ, a space for implantation is restricted. Therefore, micro device development is indispensable. Nanotechnology an...

Whether nanotechnology is ethically unique and “nanoethics” should be treated as a field in its own right remain important, contested issues. This essay seeks to contribute to the debates on these issues by exploring several foundational questions about the relationship of ethics and nanotechnology. Ethical issues related to nanotechnology exist and adoption of a defeasible presumption that suc...
