Nanomaterials in Biomedicine - Pharmacology and Stomatology Applications

In this paper we will analyze application of nanomaterials in biomedicine, that is to say we will present the recent accomplishments in basic and clinical nanomedicine. Numerous novel nanomedicine-related applications are under development or are in the research phase, and the process of converting basic research in nanomedicine into commercially viable products will be long and difficult. Achieving full potential of nanomedicine may be years of even decades away, however, potential advances in drug delivery, diagnosis, and development of nanotechnology-related drugs start to change the landscape of medicine. Site-specific targeted drug delivery (made possible by the availability of unique delivery platforms, such as dendrimers, nanoparticles and nanoliposomes) and personalized medicine (result of the advance in pharmacogenetics) is just a few concepts on the horizon of research. Based on our research in ultrathin crystal structures performed so far, superlattices, quantum wires and Q-dots, we will consider the materials that can act as carriers for medicines and tagged substances.
