Abstract
AGUDELO ZAPATA, Yineth; AGUDELO ZAPATA, Yessica and CASTANO LLANO, Rodrigo. Nanotechnology in the gastrohepatology. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2008, vol.23, n.4, pp.361-368. ISSN 0120-9957.
The world calls today Nanotechnology to the investigation and development of structures and devices in the nanometer scale (10-9 m), by means of atoms and molecules manipulation. These elements have applications in different investigation fields, like Gastrohepatology, where there are studies that involve Nanostructures and Nanodevices like: Nanoparticles, Nanoshell, quantum dots, and coal Nanotubes, all of them related with the diagnosis and therapy of diverse gastrointestinal and hepatic disease, specifically neoplasm. According to panoramic, in this review we pretend to generate interest about nanotechnology in the medical community.
