From the invisible to the visible world and back...

During the existence of humanity has begun a search to know how everything works, since a macroscopic way like the universe to a microscopic way like the atoms, and it’s about this last theme what i'm going to talk about, during the past years technology have let the mankind to learn about how the microparticles work and  make some materials with it, like gold nanoparticles, they are very important in my field because they can be used like therapeutic, what does this mean, gold nanoparticles can be used to transport drugs into the body,  what is of course a very important application in pharmacy.

I chose this material because of the revolution this practice could cause in modern medicine, since a single dosis of these nanoparticles could mean the difference between life and death for a patient. This is a work in progress, but it is thought that gold nanoparticles could be used for chemotherapy with much more efficiency than the current methods without the hassle and pain of normal cancer therapy.

in a near future this particle present an important role in cancer treatment. most studies of gold nanoparticle-based cancer therapy have used photothermal therapy for the destruction of cancer cells or tumor tissue, which may be potentially useful in the clinical setting. When irradiated with focused laser pulses of suitable wavelength, targeted gold nanospheres, nanorods, nanoshells, and nanocages can kill bacteria and cancer cells

gold particles has a significant impact in modern medicine, since it allows to deliver significance drugs into they cure cancer and aids, gold nanoparticles does not present any obvious disadvantage, in the other hand gold nanoparticles have a lot of advantages because they are stable in aqueous media and requires no handling or storage for up to many months, and they reduce toxic chemotherapy effects. though is In process of improvement
