The future of nanomedicines in Europe – EURACTIV.com
Nanomedicines are emerging as an innovative technology in the scientific field, as they help address unmet medical needs and offer alternatives for many therapeutic areas.
Nanomedicine uses state-of-the-art nanotechnology like nanoparticles, nanorobots or nanoelectronic biosensors for diagnosing or treating cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases.
However, a number of issues related to the regulatory framework raise more questions than answers while critics suggest that without an EU-centralised approach, the potential of nanomedicines will remain untapped.
