It is a discipline in which tools from nanotechnology are developed and applied to study biological phenomena. For example, nanoparticles can serve as probes, sensors or vehicles for biomolecule delivery in cellular systems.
Nanobiotechnology refers to the ways that nanotechnology is used to create devices to study biological systems.
Nanobiology (sometimes referred to as Nanobiotechnology )
It is best described as helping modern medicine progress from treating symptoms to generating cures and regenerating biological tissues
Example of Nanobiotechnology that are from a different perspective, would be evaluation and therapy at the nanoscopic level, i.e. the treatment of Nanobacteria (25-200Â nm sized) as is done by NanoBiotech Pharma.
Promising Future
there are a lot of promising methods that will rely on nanobiology in the future. Biological systems are inherently Nano in scale; nanoscience must merge with biology in order to deliver biomacromolecules and molecular machines that are similar to nature. Controlling and mimicking the devices and processes that are constructed from molecules is a tremendous challenge to face for the converging disciplines of nanobiotechnology.
Applications
It has been demonstrated in animal studies that a uterus can be grown outside the body and then placed in the body in order to produce a baby. In fact, stem cell treatments have been used to fix diseases that are found in the human heart and are in clinical trials in the United States. There is also funding for research into allowing people to have new limbs without having to resort to prosthesis. Artificial proteins might also become available to manufacture without the need for harsh chemicals and expensive machines.
Nanomedicines
It is a field of medical science whose applications are increasing more and more thanks to nanorobots and biological machines, which constitute a very useful tool to develop this area of knowledge. In the past years, researchers have made many improvements in the different devices and systems required to develop nanorobots. This supposes a new way of treating and dealing with diseases such as cancer; thanks to nanorobots, side effects of chemotherapy have been controlled, reduced and even eliminated, so some years from now, cancer patients will be offered an alternative to treat this disease instead of chemotherapy
