Nanotechnology in Medicine

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biotechnology Business - Concept to Delivery

Part of the book series: EcoProduction ((ECOPROD))

Abstract

Nanotechnology is at the frontier of medicine. It plays a critical role in expanding diversity and reach of the drug or drug-like molecules in patients. Nanoparticles act as a protected transport vehicle for hydrophobic drugs or therapeutics such as mRNA, siRNA, and DNA which are normally not bioavailable. In this chapter, we review the different kinds of non-viral nanocarriers that are being employed in modern-day medicine. We also discuss the challenges to effective delivery and function of these particles as well as their application in various aspects of disease treatment.
