Developments in nanotechnology are opening up the prospects for nanomedicine and regenerative medicine where informatics and DNA computing can become the catalysts enabling health care applications at sub-molecular or atomic scales.
Nanoinformatics: an emerging area of information technology at the intersection of Bioinformatics, Computational Chemistry and Nanobiotechnology.
Nanoinformatics can accelerate the introduction of nano-related research and applications into clinical practice, leading to an area that could be called “translational nanoinformatics.” At the same time, DNA and RNA computing presents an entirely novel paradigm for computation.
Nanoinformatics and DNA-based computing are together likely to completely change the way we model and process information in biomedicine and impact the emerging field of nanomedicine most strongly.
A new generation of nanodevices for diagnosing and treating children with genetic diseases and cancer includes the use of nanoparticles for diagnostic imaging during pregnancy, nano-based newborn screening tests for genetic abnormalities and mutation detection for cystic fibrosis using a nanoparticle based bio-sensing system. Similarly, nanomechanical approaches study the effect of drugs on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the causative agent of chronic lung infections in patients affected by cystic fibrosis.
Nanoinformatics can contribute critically to some of the above. Examples include: describing the use of computer simulations for improving targeted delivery of magnetic aerosol droplets to specific lung regions to treat asthma, cystic fibrosis, respiratory infection, or lung cancer. Stone et al. analyzed the potential toxicity of air pollution nanoparticles in children and adults in terms of cellular and molecular interactions involved in inducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
