Nanotechnology is being widely used in medical field and is surely going to be a revolution in medical science. Today Nanotechnology is used to detect biomarkers in the breath to monitor asthma and use this data for specific treatment of asthma. This research is being done by team of Stony Brook University. Nanotechnology will help to monitor Nitric Oxide in Breath in asthma patients!

Another example is that University of Texas has been awarded with Dollar 17 million for research in nanoscience such that it will develop products like implantable medical devices and laptops which are flexible enough that wouldn’t be damaged if dropped. Another application of Nanotechnology is that it is being used in regeneration technology. This includes regenerative medicine, especially in biocompatible nanoscaffold as well as in tissue engineering. The research in this is promising and in near future this science can effectively reconstruct damaged tissues including the nervous system, bone, blood vessel. Some predictions are that with the combine use of cell culture and nanotechnology, the whole organ can be reconstructed for its normal functioning.

Nanotechnology are developing innovative Electrospun Nanofibres , Self assembling Peptide Nanofibers, Tissue Engineering Nano-particles for cardiac tissue repair , bone repair etc. Another application of nanotechnology in medical field is greatly encouraged that is development of self powered medical sensors which can monitor complete health of person by either keeping these products in mouth or on wrist.
