Nanomedicine area of nanotechnology which deals with highly specific molecular diagnostics, prevention, and treatment of diseases using nanoscience and technology. It refers to the part of nanotechnology which deals with healthcare to make medically and pharmaceutically useful drugs. Nanomedicine contains drugs belonging to a multifunctional domain whose properties are programmable. They find application in biomedical detection, prevention, and treatment. The global size of the nanomedicine market in 2016 was USD 138.8 billion and is estimated to reach up to USD 350.8 billion in 2025. Nanotechnology involves the adoption of nano-scaled miniaturizations of large structures that have revolutionalized the administration of drugs. Nanodriven therapies and drugs influence the global market of nanomedicine by attributing to its growth in the future. The increase in demand for nano based reagents that are biocompatible and offer longer life has led to the exploitation of the field.
The recent advancements in the nanomedicine market and the successful results of the drugs on cancer have driven nanotechnology towards tremendous growth in a short period. Many leading companies have started to uptake nano based products by building partnerships and promoting nanomedicine based startups. In November 2015, a global collaboration was made between Ablynx and Novo Nordisk along with the signing of a licensing agreement that covered the nanomedicine development through novel drugs. The signed partnership has the potential for an increase in the net rate annually of products involved in the uplift of market growth. Nanomedicine development is a vast process covering lab to market for approval which is costly and time-consuming along with stringent regulations.

Non-Thermal Plasma Applications in Biomedical and Medicine fields
The fishing and marine industry plays a crucial role in providing food, livelihoods, and economic prosperity worldwide. However, one significant challenge that the industry faces is biofouling - the accumulation of marine organisms on submerged surfaces.
Misbeliefs related to Food, Nutrition and Cancer
There are so many myths about food and nutrition related to cancer and it's difficult to find out the truth. Often the information shared by people and on internet is very confusing. One cannot clarify the fact about the statement.
Scientists Have Grown Diamonds in Just 150 Minutes
Natural diamonds take billions of years to form in the extreme pressures and temperatures deep underground. Synthetic forms can be produced far quicker, but they typically still require some intense squishing for up to several weeks.
In a warming world, climate scientists consider category 6 hurricanes
For more than 50 years, the National Hurricane Center has used the Saffir-Simpson Windscale to communicate the risk of property damage; it labels a hurricane on a scale from Category 1 (wind speeds between 74-95 mph) to Category 5 (wind speeds of 158 mph or greater).
New antibiotic class effective against multidrug-resistant bacteria
Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. The new antibiotic class is described in an article in the scientific journal PNAS.
Modeling the origins of life: New evidence for an 'RNA World'
Charles Darwin described evolution as \"descent with modification.\" Genetic information in the form of DNA sequences is copied and passed down from one generation to the next. But this process must also be somewhat flexible, allowing slight variations of genes to arise over time and introduce new traits into the population.
European lawmakers pass world's first major act to regulate AI
The European Union's parliament on Wednesday approved the world's first major set of regulatory ground rules to govern the mediatized artificial intelligence at the forefront of tech investment.
Scientists are making significant progress towards reviving the woolly mammoth
A company aiming to bring extinct animals back from the dead said it has taken an elephant-sized step toward genetically resurrecting the woolly mammoth, a wild if contentious goal to repopulate the Arctic tundra with a missing titan.
Probiotic feed additive boosts growth, health in poultry in place of antibiotics
Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly serious threat for public health, and the use of anti-microbials in livestock feed has been a major contributing factor in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance to many drugs, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Can animals count?
Research team from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) has made a groundbreaking discovery regarding number sense in animals by confirming the existence of discrete number sense in rats, offering a crucial animal model for investigating the neural basis of numerical ability and disability in humans.
