the arterial structural patency, but it causes arterial wall injuries. Animal experiments
reveal that bioabsorbable stents, coated with antibodies, can reduce these potential
side effects [40].
9.5 Future Prospects
The future of personalized medicine has its foundations on this nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology had opened new avenues for drug delivery methods, which are more
effective than the current drug delivery methods. Carbon nanotubes carry drugs into
the target cells, which were previously not reachable. Overall, these nanomaterials
in medicine can transform the therapeutic arena in the future and give hope for the
treatment of many incurable diseases.
10 Summary
In this chapter, we briefly looked into commonly used nanomaterials in medicine,
and their uses in diagnostics and therapeutics. We looked briefly into commonly
occurring diseases such as cancer, diabetes, coronary artery disease. Research in
nanomaterials in medicine has a prominent future in personalized medicine.
