Drug loading, imaging, detection, equipment, tissue engineering.
The main purpose of drug loading is to increase drug dosage, improve bioavailability, increase targeting effect and reduce side effects.
Imaging is mainly for the development of new imaging technology and the improvement and development of contrast agent.
The main purpose of detection is to simplify the existing operation, simplify diagnosis and identification, improve sensitivity and credibility, and provide a new detection method.
The main purpose of the device is to develop embedded or implantable devices, to miniaturize and improve the integration, and to develop nano-robots. However, this part is relatively new, and no breakthrough results have been seen. The existing level is mainly to do some detection work in vitro, and the development of intelligent hardware is only a small part.
Tissue engineering is an old line in the field of biomaterials. Now that materials and organisms have been implanted, wound repair, development of new implant materials and surface modification of implants have all been done well. The other is the development of artificial organs and the complete in vitro organ reconstruction that may be realized after the introduction of 3D printing. Although this is a concept now, it is conceivable that many people are already doing it.
