Always have been told that: there is not tiny enemies, this statement couldn't be more true when we are talking about the fight between the body and different pathogen agents, cellular mutations, and dangerous substances. Right now our knowledge allow us to handle the matter at nanoscale (1/1.000'000.000 m) sizes. The nanotechnology develop this knowledge and be able to improve things as new materials, small amount of material to build devices, better performance with maximal efficiency of devices, and others [1], [2]. Using nanotechnology to solve health problems is call nanomedicine [2], [3]. This paper review nanotechnologic develops apply to diseases with high mortality and treatments that doesn't solve the problem deeply they just handle the disease with partial solutions. Therefore, nanomedicine will have greater impact in the future, improving the health issues of humanity.
