25 Interesting facts about nanomedicine A. Interest in the area has grown exponentially B. Drug delivery is the most productive area C. Drug delivery is the most established technology in the nanomedicine market Nature Biotechnology 2006, Vol. 4, pp

26 Nanoparticles and Drug delivery Drug targeting by nanoparticles or nanocapsules offers the following enormous advantages: -reduces dosage, ensures the pharmaceutical effects, and minimizes side-effects; -protects drugs against degradation and enhances drug stability. Nanoparticles can penetrate through small capillaries and are taken up by cells, which allows efficient drug accumulation at target sites. A sustained and controlled release of drugs at target sites over a period of days or even weeks is possible.

27 Nanoparticles and Drug delivery Nanoparticles with diameter less than 200nm are not screened out of circulation by liver and spleen. Nanotech based drug delivery is less toxic as well as inexpensive.

28 Trafficking of nanoparticles Nanoparticles eventually act as reservoirs for sustained release of encapsulated therapeutic agent at target cells. -Intracellular -Extracellular

30 Nanoparticle use in Cancer Treatments Because of their small size, nanoparticles can pass through interstitial spaces between necrotic and quiescent cells. Tumor cells typically have larger interstitial spaces than healthy cells Particles collect in center bringing therapeutics to kill the tumor from inside out.

The functionalized nanoparticle shell interacts with the cell membrane 3) The nanoparticle is ingested inside the cell, and interacts with the biomolecules inside the cell 4) The nanoparticle particles breaks, and the pharmaceutical agent is released Source: Comprehensive Cancer Center Ohio University

37 What are Quantum Dots? At the heart of the fluorescence of Qdot nanocrystals is the formation of excitons. The exciton can be thought of as analogous to the excited state of traditional fluorophores; however, excitons typically have much longer lifetimes (up to ~µseconds). Qdot nanocrystals are also extremely efficient machines for generating fluorescence; their intrinsic brightness is often many times that observed for other classes of fluorophores. Another practical benefit is that the photostability of Qdot nanocrystals is many orders of magnitude greater than that associated with traditional fluorescent molecules; enables longterm imaging experiments.

38 widely exploited in the development of multicolor assays Tuneability of Qdot nanocrystals. Five different nanocrystal solutions are shown excited with the same long-wavelength UV lamp; the size of the nanocrystal determines the color.

39 Quantum Dot Bioconjugate Qdot bioconjugate is a generic term to describe Qdot nanocrystals coupled to proteins, oligonucleotides, small molecules, etc., which are used to direct binding of the quantum dots to targets of interest.

A single clottocyte, upon reliably detecting a blood vessel break, can rapidly communicate this fact to its neighbors, immediately triggering a progressive controlled mesh-release cascade.

The vasculoid system conforms to the shape of existing blood vessels and serves as a complete replacement for natural blood.
