"Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology."
This subfield is concerned with the development of nanoscale materials, devices, and systems for medical diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.
"Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials and biological devices, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology such as biological machines."
"Current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the issues related to toxicity and environmental impact of nanoscale materials."
"Functionalities can be added to nanomaterials by interfacing them with biological molecules or structures."
"Nanomaterials can be useful for both in vivo and in vitro biomedical research and applications."
"Thus far, the integration of nanomaterials with biology has led to the development of diagnostic devices, contrast agents, analytical tools, physical therapy applications, and drug delivery vehicles."
"Nanomedicine seeks to deliver a valuable set of research tools and clinically useful devices in the near future."
"The National Nanotechnology Initiative expects new commercial applications in the pharmaceutical industry that may include advanced drug delivery systems, new therapies, and in vivo imaging."
"The US National Institutes of Health Common Fund program supports four nanomedicine development centers."
"Nanomedicine sales reached $16 billion in 2015."
"A minimum of $3.8 billion in nanotechnology R&D being invested every year."
"Global funding for emerging nanotechnology increased by 45% per year in recent years."
"Product sales exceeding $1 trillion in 2013."
"As the nanomedicine industry continues to grow, it is expected to have a significant impact on the economy."
