Cubosomes: A Vanguard Wave of Nanotechnological Front
Abstract: Cubosomes are unique nano-sized drug delivery carriers that are formed by self-assembly of binary components i.e., aqueous lipids and surfactants. The most striking feature of cubosomes which make it indispensable is its controlled release profile. They are usually manufactured by high-energy dispersion aqueous lipid that is followed by thermodynamic and colloidal stabilization by using surfactants. After formation, the cubosomes is transformed into patient acceptable product and then administered it to …

Hyperlipidemia: An Herbal Remedy
Abstract: Too much cholesterol in blood is Hyperlipidemia. Cholesterol is made in liver which is essential for healthy cell membrane, brain functioning, hormone production and vitamin storage. It became problem when too much bad cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein is produced or ingested through unhealthy foods. Hyperlipidemia can be detected by routine blood test, in this excessive fat in blood accumulates over time, forming plaques on the walls of the arteries and …

NANOBOTS - The Artificial Blood
Abstract: Artificial blood is simulated to biological blood to higher extent where it is expected to be used to imitate and accomplish some very important functions of natural blood. Thus, nanobots can be a good alternative to blood transfusion in case of medical emergency too. They have several advantages like possibility of highly targeted delivery which will ultimately decrease the side effects and the need for invasive steps combinedly NANOBOTS—The artificial …

Review of Advanced Drug Delivery System: Nanotechnology
Abstract: Nanotechnology is the science and technology conducted at nanoscale, i.e., 1–100 nm. It is the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension ranging from 1–100 nm.In this study, we discussed the importance of nanoparticles/nanotechnology for drug delivery, their characteristics, applications and future of nanotechnology. Nanoparticles are very small fascinating little objects. It deals with physics quantum mechanics (theory in physics which describes nature at smallest scale of energy levels). …
