Abstract

This article describes current investigative directions in nanotechnology-based medicine. It discusses cell sheet engineering, the molecular design of self-assembling peptide nanomaterials; the reconstitution of membrane protein systems on giant liposomes as artificial cell models, a biochemically engineered molecular communication system, and the use of split-reporter reconstitution analysis to image biomolecules in living cells and animals.
