Abstract

Nanomedicine is defined as the application of nanotechnology to achieve breakthroughs in healthcare. It exploits the improved and often novel physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials at the nanometer scale. Nanomedicine has the potential to enable early detection and prevention and to essentially improve diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of nose diseases.
