Nanomedicine may be defined as the application of nanotechnology to detect and to treat disease. The ability to shape and control matter at the nanoscale presents the opportunity to prevent or to cure disease at its source—at the level of molecular interactions. By delivering nanoparticles into cells, the molecular pathways and interactions that control cell function can be directly influenced, either to restore proper balance or to kill rogue cells, for example, cancer cells. However, our body’s natural
