SYNOPSIS
The nanomedicine session highlights approaches for unprecedented precision therapies and treatments. Drug delivery envisions the use of biocompatible and biodegradable nanocarriers aiming to deliver drugs or even gene materials to specific organs, membranes, and cells to improve the efficacy and localization of the pharmacological activity. Diagnostics and imaging deal with ultrasensitive and specific methods to detect biomarkers of pathologies at early stages in human fluids and aid to localize disease at levels of single cells. Integration with drug delivery yields theranostics. Controlled released of chemical cues and trophic factors, together with the multiscale spatial control enabled by nanotechnology, are relevant in regenerative medicine. Implantable devices, based on soft multifunctional materials, enable stimulation of a region relevant to a disease, with the aim to cure, restore, support functionality, and even to regenerate the diseased region
