In this issue, NANO investigates how progress in nanotechnology and nanomedicine hold great potential in the management and treatment of disease.
The demand for biomedical implants to repair diseased or lost tissues is vast and increasing as the world’s population grows and people live longer.
The human kidney is an extremely complex organ and mimicking it to create an artificial replacement has not been easy. Despite being the first organ for which a substitute alternative therapy has been available, the practical application of renal dialysis has not moved forward very much since it first came into use more than 50 years ago.
Italy has an intense programme of research and development in nanotechnology that spans research institutions and industries across the country. A recent census by the country’s main nanotech-coordinating centre, AIRI/Nanotec IT (www.nanotec.it) estimates that as many as 200 different organisations – including public and private companies, research institutes and centres – are involved in nanotechnology research and development. This R&D is supported by investment approaching 70 million euro per annum.
