View Nanobiotechnology's Contributions to the Pharmaceutical/Medical Sectors.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c43614) has announced the addition of "Impact of Nano Materials in Drug Delivery & Human Tissue Engineering" to their offering. This new market analysis report - Impact of Nano Materials in Drug Delivery & Human Tissue Engineering - provides a market driven top down approach that identifies existing products using nano based knowledge to strengthen their capabilities and provides a description of the product's market niche to pinpoint future trends. A recent analysis of more than 200 commercially available products that use nano-based technological enhancements in the pharmaceutical, medical or healthcare field is reinforcing the notion that "incremental" modifications of existing drugs, drug delivery devices and tissue engineering products enhanced by nano innovations is beginning to harvest revenue. This report highlights the impact of Nanotechnology in the development of new biomaterials designed, using "nanoscale" properties, to enhance developing platforms for drug development and delivery. It also discusses the generation of new drug device combinations, and biophase materials for tissue engineering products, both being the forerunners in the nanotechnology field that are currently attracting revenue. Today, nanoparticles such as colloidal gold Colloidal gold, also known as "nanogold", is a suspension (or colloid) of sub-micrometre-sized particles of gold in a fluid--usually water. The liquid is usually either an intense red colour (for particles less than 100 nm), or a dirty yellowish colour (for larger , quantum dots, liposomes Liposomes Aqueous compartments enclosed by lipid bilayer membranes; liposomes are also known as lipid vesicles. Phospholipid molecules consist of an elongated nonpolar (hydrophobic) structure with a polar (hydrophilic) structure at one end. , dendrimers and fullerenes are being used in pharmaceutical drug discovery and in formulations for encapsulating drugs for drug delivery. Some nanoparticulates such as fullerenes and dendrimers can be modified by precise grafting of active chemical groups and be used as drugs themselves.

Near term forecasts indicate that products that will reach the market in 2006 will include the first nanoparticulate drugs from SkyePharma (propofol), Nanobio (NanoHpx Herpes), NovaVax (Estrasorb), and a dermatological product from C Sixty based on fullerenes. Engineering pre-existing drugs onto nano-enabled scaffolds is also a strategy that will be used to extend the patent lives of pharmaceuticals. About the Author: Gautam Thor received his PhD in Neurobiology Neurobiology Study of the development and function of the nervous system, with emphasis on how nerve cells generate and control behavior. The major goal of neurobiology is to explain at the molecular level how nerve cells differentiate and develop their in 1983 from The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) is the premier Indian institute for higher education that is primarily dedicated to carrying out research in natural sciences, mathematics and computer science. It is located at Navy Nagar Colaba, Mumbai. , India where he got interested in the study of the growth of the visual system that has resulted in the recent formation of Coded Imagery to commercialize some aspects of these studies. He has also researched at UCSD UCSD University of California, San Diego (La Jolla, California) UCSD User Centered System Design UCSD Urbana-Champaign Sanitary District (Illinois) UCSD Ultra Cool Sexy Dudes in the field of Neuroimmunology and is the author of numerous scientific and medical publications through NeuroConsultants, and, is internationally recognized for his expertise in human diagnostics.
