Nanoparticles are being used by mother nature from the beginning of evolution. Excellent and target-specific coordination demonstrated by receptors and their corresponding specific enzymes in and out of cell membranes is an unremarkable example of nanoscience.For applications in medicine and physiology, these materials and devices can be designed to interact with cells and tissues at a molecular (i.e., subcellular) level with a high degree of functional specificity, thus allowing a degree of integration between technology and biological systems. It should be appreciated that nanotechnology is not in itself a single emerging scientific discipline but rather a meeting of traditional sciences such as chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology to bring together the required collective expertise needed to develop these novel technologies.
