Abstract

The early genesis of the concept of nanomedicine sprang from the visionary idea that tiny nanorobots and related machines could be designed, manufactured, and introduced into the human body to perform cellular repairs at the molecular level. Nanomedicine today has branched out in hundreds of different directions, each of them embodying the key insight that the ability to structure materials and devices at the molecular scale can bring enormous immediate benefits in the research and practice of medicine.

摘要

纳米医学概念的早期起源源于一个富有远见的想法，即可以设计、制造微小的纳米机器人及相关机器，并将其引入人体，在分子水平上进行细胞修复。如今，纳米医学已朝着数百个不同方向发展，每个方向都体现了一个关键见解，即在分子尺度上构建材料和设备的能力能够在医学研究和实践中带来巨大的直接益处。
