Title	Nanomedicine: a primer for surgeons
Authors	Wong, KKY1 Liu, XL1
Keywords	Nanodiagnostics Nanomedicine Nanoparticles Therapeutics
Issue Date	2012
Publisher	Springer Verlag. The Journal's web site is located at http://link.springer.de/link/service/journals/00383/index.htm
Citation	Pediatric Surgery International, 2012, v. 28 n. 10, p. 943-951 [How to Cite?] DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00383-012-3162-y
Abstract	The advances in science have resulted in the emergence of nanotechnology, which deals with the design and use of tools and devices of size 1-100 nm. The application of nanotechnologies to medicine is thus termed nanomedicine. Significant research has been focused on this new and exciting field and this review article will describe the basics of nanomedicine. This is followed by its experimental and clinical applications in diagnostics, drug therapy and regenerative medicine. Safety issues of in vivo use of nanomaterials are also discussed. In the future, it is foreseen that nanomedicine will facilitate the development of personalized medicine and will have a major impact on the delivery of better healthcare. © 2012 The Author(s).
