Nanomedicine is a key science of the 21st century. Although the production and use of nanosized particles had taken place in several ways in ancient times and hundreds of years ago, nanomedicine as a modern interdisciplinary science was first established in the nineties of the last century only. The basis of this new science derives from the development of an array of ultramicroscopic devices and the studies of cellular, molecular and finally atomsized structures in biology, chemistry and physics in the 20th century. The nanotechnological approach, first framed in the 1950’s by Richard P. Feynman, was the constitutive force to establish nanomedicine as a paramount section in science and medical treatments. From the beginning nanomedicine developed rapidly, driven by tremendous progress in techniques. Its historical evolvement and diversification into.. View More»
