~Employing nanoparticles to deliver drugs, heat, light, or other substances to specific types of cells (such as cancer cells). It reduces damage to healthy cells in the body and allows for earlier detection of disease.
~Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute are using antibodies attached to carbon nanotubes in chips to detect cancer cells in the bloodstream.
~A test for early detection of kidney damage is being developed which uses gold nanorods functionalized to attach to the type of protein generated by damaged kidneys.
~Researchers at the University of Houston are developing a technique to kill bacteria using gold nanoparticles and infrared light. 
~Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are investigating the use of quantum dots to treat antibiotic-resistant infections.
~Researchers at Chase Western Reserve University are developing polymer nanoparticles that act as synthetic platelets and it has reduced blood loss.]]> 2022-05-03 18:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amerchanbermudez/hf8x0pahf36pziyv/wish/2168756076 Four major ways nanotechnology is changing the future of healthcare amerchanbermudez https://padlet.com/amerchanbermudez/hf8x0pahf36pziyv/wish/2171905665 ~Nanomedicine is currently being used to develop smart pills and for treating cancer.
~Nanotechnology has previously helped in developing various kinds of smart pills, such as the PillCam, a capsule with a miniature video camera, and dose-tracking pills.
~Nanomedicine is being used to develop a new method for detecting cancer cells in the bloodstream, called Nano flares without causing side effects.
~There are also Nanobots which are micro-scale robots who can serve as robots.]]> 2022-05-05 18:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amerchanbermudez/hf8x0pahf36pziyv/wish/2171905665 The Future of Nanotechnology in Medicine amerchanbermudez https://padlet.com/amerchanbermudez/hf8x0pahf36pziyv/wish/2173587504 ~For this reason, researchers around the world are working on using nano particles to specifically target cancer cells.
~On the issues with conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatments is that the body’s healthy cells can get damaged as well so researchers around the world are working on using nanoparticles to specifically target cancer cells
