In broad coverage of this novel field for nonmedical as well as medical readers, Jain (Jain PharmaBiotech, Basel, Switzerland) introduces nanomedicine (from the Greek for "dwarf") as the application of nanobiotechnology to clinical medicine. Following an overview of nanoscale technologies and landmarks in their evolution, he discusses emerging and future trends in nanomolecular diagnostics, nanopharmaceuticals, nanorobotic treatments, minimally invasive surgery, tissue engineering in regenerative medicine, and many other areas of medicine. He also treats ethical, safety, regulatory, and marketing issues relating to nanotechnologies.
