ABSTRACT Traditionally nanotechnology dealt with design, synthesis and application of materials along with devices at the nanometer scale. The application of nanotechnology in the field of health care and drug delivery has come under great attention in recent times. Nanorobots are considered a new possibility for the health sector to improve medical instrumentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic treatments. Nanobots are robots that carry out a very specific function and are just several nanometers wide which can be used very effectively for drug delivery. Normally, drugs work through entire body before they reach the disease affected area. Using nanorobotic technology, the drug can be targeted to a precise location which would make the drug much more effective and reduce the chances of possible side-effects. The speculative claims about the possibility of using nanorobots in medicine would totally change the world of medicine, once it realized hence nanomedicine would make use of these nanorobots, introduced into the body to repair or detect damages and infections.Nanorobotics in drug delivery has been accomplished by viewing the human body from a molecular standpoint, which provides better understanding for behaviour of nanomachines in such an environment which would mimic the human biological system. The current review focuses on applications of nanorobots in the field of diagnosis, prevention and treatments through drug delivery like as glucose monitoring in diabetes patient, ameliorating heart attacks, tissue reconstruction, nerve regeneration, cancer therapy, brain targeted drug delivery, bone targeted drug delivery, chromosome replacement therapy, protein and peptide drug delivery and so on. Keywords: Biosensors, dendrimers, designing, nanodevice, nanomedicine. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
