Recent Patents on Nanomedicine - Volume 5, Issue 1, 2015

Products created by nanotechnology are one of the major advancements in cosmetic technology and have resulted into further development of cosmetic science. As nanomaterials continually gain attention in the field of health care, cosmetic industries are perceived to be the most advanced in incorporating nanoparticles into their products. Products underpinned by nanotechnology have increased by nearly 516% between th Read More

Nanomedicine is the relevance of nanotechnology in the area of healthcare, diagnosis of disease, cure and prevention of disease. Nanotechnology covers the diverse area of matters at dimensions between approximately 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanotechnology has enormous applications in drug delivery field. Nano drug delivery systems can reduce the drug consumption and side-effects by lowering the deposition of the active ag Read More

Degenerative joint diseases have seen a rise in the past few decades. Among them, the prevalence of Osteoarthritis (OA) is the highest as compared to the other types of arthritis. It involves the degradation of cartilage in joints that ultimately leads to their degeneration. Globally, it affects over 200 million people and the statistics are only expected to increase over the next few decades. The treatment approach for i Read More

Chemical reduction technique is one of the easiest methods for synthesizing nickel nanoparticles in low temperature ranges. The patents claimed different types of reducing agents like primary amines, organic amines hydrazine hydrate, sodium borohydride etc. Ether, polyols like ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol could be used as solvents and compounds like polyvinylpyrrolidone could be used as cappi Read More

The rationale of this study was to develop a SMEDDS based thermally triggered in situ gelling intramuscular implant of Rifampicin. The SMEDDS based in situ gelling system composed of oleic acid, tween 80, ethanol and Poloxamer 188. The physicochemical properties such as morphology of solution and gel, droplet size distribution, in situ gelling in chicken muscle, phase transition of SMEDDS at 37 oC and in vitro dissolution w Read More

New production insights are being prospected for regenerative medicine purposes to tackle current implant problems encountered regarding supply scarcity as well as infection and rejection episodes. Supercritical fluid technology emerges as a promising green solvent-based option for the high throughput production of solventfree scaffolds compatible with the incorporation of thermally-labile compounds. A patent survey o Read More

Some authors use the term “nanosensor” for biomolecules in nano molar concentrations acting as signals for living cells. In our review we emphasize on microbial sensors for detecting pathogens and on the “hardware” - the type of nanostructures used as a pad of bio sensing element. The main object is different type of nano-structured material used in the sensing process - non functionalized metal nanoparticles, metal Read More
