EDITORIALN anotechnology, Nanomedicine and nanosurgeryAn exciting revolution in health care and med-ical technology looms large on the horizon. Yet theagents of change will be microscopically small,future products of a new discipline known asnanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the engineer-ing of molecularly precise or smallereand, ultimately, the application of nano-technology to medicine. It is the preservationand improvement of human health, using molecu-lar tools and molecular knowledge of the humanbody. Present-day Nanomedicine exploits carefullystructured nanoparticles such as dendrimers,5car-bon fullerenes (buckyballs)6and nanoshells7totarget specific tissues and organs. These nanopar-ticles may serve as diagnostic and therapeutic an-tiviral, antitumor or anticancer agents.
