Although nanotechnology has provided a rich variety of nanomaterials (1-100 nm) for in vivo medical applications, the blood compatibility of all these nanobiomaterials is still largely unexamined. Here, we report the preparation of blood-compatible carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that potentially represent the building blocks for nanodevices having in vivo applications. Activated partial thromboplastin...

Nanotechnology (nano-materials and nano-process) has been developed for both industrial and medical applications. The use of nano-medicine has been used in bio-imaging and bio-sensing, drug delivery, cancer cell diagnostics and therapeutics [1,2]. Nanoparticles (NPs) can cause tumor cell death by photothermal ablation, photodynamic toxicity, mechanical damage, or increase in the localized drug ...

Clinical trials of nanotechnology medical products present complex risk management challenges that involve many uncertainties and important risk-risk trade-offs. This paper inquires whether the precautionary principle can help to inform risk management approaches to nanomedicine clinical trials. It concludes that prudent precaution may be appropriate for ensuring the safety of such trials, but ...

INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology is a recently emerging and rapidly growing field whose dynamics and prospects pose many great challenges not only to scientists and engineers but also to society at large. Since forecasts of nanotech-nology range from the next industrial revolution to severe threats to humanity , nanotechnology has already created enormous social disturbance. While the promises of na...

breast cancer is characterized by a distinct metastatic pattern involving the regional lymph nodes, bone marrow, lung and liver. tumour cell migration and metastasis share many similarities with leukocyte trafficking, which is critically regulated by chemokines and their receptors. detection of breast cancer and its metastasis at the earliest stage is important for the management and prediction...

Nanotechnology is regarded as the technology of the 21st century. Due to the revolution of nanotechnology, its presence divides the world into advanced countries and developing. Nanotechnology education is now a domestic and international challenge to solve the problems facing society, while simultaneously making life and the future better. This study creates concepts in nanotechnology educatio...
