【 摘 要 】

Nanomedicine has emerged during the past decades to promise extraordinary breakthroughs in a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic endeavours. Understanding and controlling the interfacial interactions of nanomaterials with biological entities such as soluble and insoluble proteins, biological membranes, and genetic materials are of paramount importance towards their successful implementation in medical applications. This special ‘Nanomedicine’ In Focus issue of Biointerphases illustrates the way exquisite control of the unique physicochemical properties of nanoscaled materials and advanced understanding of their bio-interfacial activity are rapidly translating into medically relevant applications as diverse as regenerative medicine, molecular imaging, molecular diagnosis, and targeted therapy.
