Introduction to Bio-Nanotechnology

The properties of cells and tissues, whether they are diseased like cancer or healthy, are a function of their interactions with each other and have to be treated as an integrated closed system. The key is to recognize that the macrotissue properties are driven by its microenvironment, which is affected at the nanoscale by an integrated cellular assembly and its mechanical interactions with the other cells and matrix components. From an engineer’s perspective, the divide in knowledge between cancer and health is due to the divide between engineers/biophysicists and cancer cell biologists working independently in their own research microculture. For example, engineering methods of study in these cancer systems ...
