Editorial
We would like to share our excitement and optimism as Editor-in-Chief and
Executive Editor of this new journal specifically created for scientists,
engineers, physicians, qnd clinicians interested in the field of
nanomedicine. We have seen unprecedented advances
in the field of nanotechnology during the last 2 decades, and the impact of
this emerging technology is seen in all scientific fields.
In 1959, Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman predicted the emergence of a new
science called “nanotechnology.” Nanotechnology deals with structures 1
to 100 nm in scale. Sometimes nanoscale is extended into the micrometer
level. We have just started to witness the application of this cutting-edge
technology in medicine. It will have a profound impact
on future medical practice. Nanomedicine is the medical diagnosis,
monitoring, and treatment at the level of single molecules or molecular
assemblies that provide structure, control, signaling, homeostasis, and
motility in cells, that is, at the “nano” scale
of about 100 nm or less.
There have been many scientific and technological advances in both the
physical and biological sciences over the past several years. Nanomedicine
is an important new concept in combining nanotechnology and medicine and it
provides a new direction for development
in those research areas. For example, new tools are being developed that
permit imaging
of structures at a molecular level, and high-speed measurement of the
dynamic behavior
of these molecular assemblies is developing. The forces produced by
molecular machines
as well as the forces needed to disrupt them are undergoing.
The long-term goal of nanomedicine research is to quantitatively
characterize the molecular-scale components, or nanomachinery, of living
cells and to precisely control
and manipulate these molecular and supramolecular assemblies in living
cells to improve human health. Nanomedicine will exploit and build upon
other research findings in nanotechnology and apply it to the study of
molecular systems in living cells that contain a multitude of nanoscale
structures, such as membrane transporters, processes such as
self-assembly of protein–nucleic acid complexes, and nanomachines such as
molecular motors.
The benefits of nanomedicine include dramatically expanded knowledge of the
human genome,
a greater understanding of the pathophysiology of specific diseases at the
molecular scale, more specific treatment of diseases, and the ability to
understand the dynamic behavior
of dysfunctional cellular machinery in the context of the total cell
machinery.
The journal Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine was
specifically created
to provide researchers and clinicians with a peer-reviewed, indexed,
international forum for their work. Through the pages of Nanomedicine we
can expand the growing dialogue among researchers in many disciplines that
are part of nanomedicine. Nanomedicine provides a new forum for researchers
around the world to share their discoveries and applications in this
exciting new field of medicine.
Each issue of the journal will publish basic, clinical, and engineering
research in the area of nanotechnology in biology and medicine. Areas of
particular interest will include, but are not limited to, diagnostic,
engineering, experimental, genetic, and pharmacologic nanomedicine;
commercialization of research; and ethics.
As the Editor-in-Chief and Executive Editor we invite you to submit your
papers to the journal.
Sincerely,
PII: S1549-9634(05)00010-9
