nanomedicine is simply the application of nanotechnologies in a healthcare setting and the majority of benefits that have already been seen involve the use of nanoparticles to improve the behavior of drug substances. working at the nanoscale with structures that are usually 10-100 times smaller than a body’s cell but only little larger than molecules makes possible the treatment of several diseases at the molecular level. applications of nanomedicine: drug delivery: nanomedicines can play an important role in ensuring enough of the drug enters the body, that drug that does enter stays in the body for long periods and is targeted specifically to the areas that need treatment. as the drugs have a very little solubility in water and the human body struggles to absorb enough to treat the condition and sometimes may lead to side effects. to fight against diabetes: nanoparticles are being developed as imaging contrast agents to assist in the early diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. glucose nanose
