ABSTRACT
Our increasing knowledge of the mechanisms of cell interactions opens the medical field to new treatments which place nanotechnology at the forefront of personalized medicine. Nanotechnology supports the development of more efficient targeted delivery of drugs and offers the possibility of decreasing the drug quantities used while obtaining the same or better results. Sometimes more elaborate therapeutic actions such as surgery and radiation exposure are needed. Nanotechnology can support minimally invasive surgical procedures and can also provide miniaturized implantable devices for long term monitoring and treatment of a patient.
