Grenha, Ana2013-01-232013-01-232011Grenha A. The era of nanomedicine. J Pharm Bioall Sci 2011;3:181.AUT: AMG02212;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/2117Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences is now in its 7th issue and in the way that has been paved so far, it is possible to find some works on nanomedicine. This term encompasses the applications of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and comprises an emerging field that is believed to have the potential to revolutionise individual health in the present century. The outstanding approach of nanomedicine is that it offers the delivery of potential drugs which were previously beyond the capacities of microscale technologies, due to specific biological barriers. Currently, several nanotherapeutics are approved or are undergoing clinical trials and application of nanotechnologies is expected to extend to many more commercial products in the near future.engNanomedicineother10.4103/0975-7406.80757
