title: Application of nanotechnology in biomedical sciences.
abstract: Nanotechnology, a new research field that holds enormous prospects in the 21th century, has by now gained wide application in biomedical sciences, and consequently gives rise to two new cross-disciplines, nanobiology and nanobiomedicine. The authors provide a brief summarization of the progress so far achieved in these two new disciplines.
