Medicine on a small scale.How molecular medicine can benefit from self-assembled and nanostructured materials
Over the past few years, nanotechnology has emerged as a new and exciting research field that deals with the design, synthesis and fabrication of structures at the molecular scale. Smallness is not in itself the prime goal ; it is rather the expectation that, by manipulating matter at the molecular level, new intrinsic material properties can be created. Because living matter itself is basically composed of biological "nanomachines" and nanostructures, researchers recognized quite early on that biology and medicine could be prime fields for the application of nanotechnology. In general, nanomedicine can be defined as the monitoring, repairing, construction and control of human biological systems at the cellular level by using materials and structures engineered at the molecular level.
