Nanomedicine QUESTIONS AND ASNWERS YEAR
2025.
nanomedicine - ✅✅application of nanotechnology to prevent and treat disease
nanotoxicology - ✅✅study of adverse effects of nanomaterials on living organisms
and the ecosystem including the prevention and amelioration of adverse effects
toxicity of nanomaterials
nanotechnology - ✅✅understanding and controlling matter at dimensions 1-100 nm to
produce new structures, materials, and devices
nanomaterial - ✅✅material with external dimensions or having internal structure or
surface structure in nanoscale 1-100 nm
between glucose and virus
common engineered nanomaterials - ✅✅amorphous silica
nanotubes (TiO2)
nanosilver (antibacterial)
nanogold
carbon nanotubes
Potential applications - ✅✅"smart therapeutics" target tumor cells
Targeted molecular imaging agents
biological sensors/diagnostic tools
tissue engineering
nano-enabled consumer products
Promises of nanomedicine in cancer - ✅✅nanoparticles can pass through interstitial
space between necrotic and quiescent cells
kill tumor from inside out
tumor cells have larger interstitial space
potential applications overall - ✅✅-clean energy (solar panels, fuel cell development)
-clean water (detection, removal of impurities, reduce waste water)
-new medicines (cancer, DM, CVD, neurodegenerative diseases)
advantages of nanoparticles - ✅✅size facilitates uptake and translocation to sensitive
sites
greater surface area per mass makes nanomaterial more biologically active
