摘要
Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology in med- icine and is a revolutionary area in medical diagnostics and therapeutics using nanoscientific materials, tools, techniques and insight. Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter and processes at the nanoscale （1-100 nm） in one or more dimensions where size-dependent phenomena usual- ly enable novel applications （http：//www.nano.gov/）. This themed issue provides several reviews summarizing the recent development of nanotechnology in medical diagnos- tics and therapeutics, especially cancer therapeutics. In the- se reviews, the authors also included a lot of their own findings. Original articles investigated the biohazards of nanomaterials and provided new evidence for thrombosis mechanism using nano-based approach.
