Nanomedicine Pillars and Monitoring Nano–biointeractions

The current revolution in medicine is strongly associated with the availability of new tools, methods and materials that enable the visualization and handling of molecules and even atoms in order to explore the etiology of many diseases and foster the insights within the biological nano-world. This chapter describes the main nanomedicine pillars that involve nanodiagnostics, targeted drug delievery and regenerative medicine. It gives an overview of key nanotechnologies that will advance the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Several experiments are employed to help the reader to understand how nanomedicine can advance mainly the study of mechanisms of bio and non- bio interactions for the design and development of highly performed implants. The hazards and risks for nanomedicines and the future challenges and perspectives of their application in clinical practice will also be discussed.
