| Dear
Subscribers,
Nano LIFE
"It gives us great pleasure to inform you about the inaugural
issue of Nano LIFE. In this issue, we bring you the most recent
development in nano science and its applications in biomedicine.
Nanomedicine research has been advancing rapidly in
recent years, particularly in the field of medical diagnosis, drug and
gene delivery, and tumor treatment. The research addresses the critical
issues on nano-bio interfaces, biocompatibility, and toxicity of newly
developed nanomaterials. For biomedical applications, materials science
and engineering must face new challenges in the areas of synthesis,
design, surface structures, and biological, chemical, and physical
behaviors due to particular medical needs such as in vivo imaging and
cell targeting.
In the first issue of Nano LIFE, we present to you
several important aspects of nanomedicince research; these include
unique approaches in cancer therapy, single molecule motors by DNA
engineering, nanotechnologies in cell biology applications, and
nanomaterials for tissue engineering. We hope that you will enjoy
these first-issue articles and look forward to reading your future
submissions."

The tremendous
success in developing new nanomaterial and fostering technological
innovation arises from its focus on interdisciplinary research and
collaboration between physical and medical scientists. The concept of
nanobiomedicine is one of the most important ideas ever generated by
the applications of nanoscience to medical fields. Although there have
been extensive interdisciplinary activities, major collaborative
efforts are needed to jointly address some of the most challenging
issues in life and medical sciences.
