  • Summary

    There are a number of features of nanomedicine that make it a new, unique medical discipline. In addition to its association with nanotechnology, it changes the fundamental paradigm of disease in medicine from being at the organ level to being at the single-cell level. It is paradigm shifting in a number of ways. Befitting its nanotechnology origins, nanomedicine uses a bottom-up rather than top-down approach to medicine. Nanomedicine uses a cell-by-cell approach and uses biosensing and feedback control to safely regulate drug delivery.
