Nanotechnology In Biotechnology Applications

The Nanotechnology in biotechnology applications are currently in use or under development that are, or will be, affecting our quality of life. Such as bandages embedded with silver nanoparticles are coming of age in the wound healing arena. And We now have drug delivery via a patch. A variety of time release thin films are now utilized on implantations into the human body (for example screws, joints, and stents) and these films are affecting the long term effectiveness of these devices,. Respiration monitors utilizing nano-materials have been developed that are many times more sensitive than previous state of the art technology. Man-made skin is a nanofabricated network and is presently in use for skin graft applications. Some other nanotechnology applications which are currently under development in the biotech world are diabetic insulin biocapsules, pharmaceuticals utilizing “bucky ball” technology to selectively deliver drugs, and cancer therapies using targeted radioactive biocapsules.
