Medical Benefits of Nanotechnology

Fight Aging!

Do you want to live a longer life in good health? Simple practices can make some difference, such as exercise or calorie restriction. But over the long haul all that really matters is progress in medicine: building new classes of therapy to repair and reverse the known root causes of aging. The sooner these treatments arrive, the more lives will be saved. Find out how to help »

The Center for Responsible Nanotechnology (a fine and upstanding group) have put together a snappy overview page of the effects nanotechnology will have on medicine. We're seeing the start of it already in the building of better tools and a greater understanding of proteins and genes. Faster diagnosis, quicker cures and better health: all this we can look forward to. There are some links to good further references, and here's a nice quote to finish with: "Health will improve and lifespans increase."
