title: Nanomedicine and drug delivery.
abstract: This article discusses the use of nanotechnology in drug delivery approaches. Magnetic nanotechnology is finding wide applications in medicine, most notably in MRI and magnetic separation. The impedance biosensor is expected to find applications in monitoring cytokines in cancer, bone turnover markers in osteoporosis, and understanding neural-degenerative diseases.
