Summary:
Molecular nanotechnology has been defined as the three-dimensional
positional control of molecular structure to create materials and
devices to molecular precision. The human body is comprised of
molecules, hence the availability of molecular nanotechnology will
permit dramatic progress in human medical services. More than just an
extension of "molecular medicine," nanomedicine will employ molecular
machine systems to address medical problems, and will use molecular
knowledge to maintain and improve human health at the molecular
scale. Nanomedicine will have extraordinary and far-reaching
implications for the medical profession, for the definition of
disease, for the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions
including aging, for our very personal relationships with our own
bodies, and ultimately for the improvement and extension of natural
human biological structure and function. This book will be published
in three Volumes over the course of several years. The present Volume
is the first in this series. Its intended audience is technical and
professional people who are seriously interested in the future of
medical technology -- particularly physical scientists, chemists,
biochemists, and biomedical engineers engaged in basic research.
