Ion Channels, Nanomechanics, and Nanomedicine
Abstract
Ion channels are naturally occurring pores found in all living organisms. These may be of different types, activated by many stimuli, but their addition or alteration may cause serious physiological issues. They allow some ions to pass through them and are resistant for some ions. So they are ion selective. For the pharmaceutical industry, ion channels are now bird's eye view as many drugs, intended to cure a disease, target ion channels located in a specific part of our body. Quantum dots, nanoparticles, carbon nanomaterials change the channel properties in a considerable amount. A huge potential of targeting the ion channels for changing the treatment procedure completely is now opening a new side of nanomechanics, nanofluidics, biophysics and medicine. The following paragraphs will describe how experimental as well as theoretical studies can bring a lot of change in the field of medicine. The fatal disease like cancer and male infertility; these two important issues are addressed here. The dependent of such diseases on ion channels and the way of treating them are emphasized.
