What if pumps the size of molecules could be implanted to deliver life-saving medicines precisely when and where they are needed? These scenarios may sound unbelievable, but they are the long-term goals of the NIH Roadmap’s Nanomedicine initiative that we anticipate will yield medical benefits as early as 10 years from now.

Over the past two years, NIH established a national network of eight Nanomedicine Development Centers, which will serve as the intellectual and technological centerpiece of the NIH Nanomedicine Roadmap Initiative. Research conducted over the first few years will be directed toward gathering extensive information about the physical properties of intracellular structures that will inform us about how biology’s molecular machines are built.

Using drugs and surcadmium selenidegery, doctors can only encourage tissues to repair themselves. But with molecular machines, there will be more direct repairs. Nanocomputers is used as a guide, make access to cells easier as it can stick needles into cells without killing them. Thus, molecular machines are capable of entering the cell.

These computers will direct machines to examine, take apart, and rebuild damaged molecular structures. Repair machines will be able to repair whole cells by working structure by structure. Then by working cell by cell and tissue by tissue, whole organs can be repaired. Finally, by working organ by organ, health is restored to the body. Amazing, doesn’t it? :-P

Well, this is a monumental discovery to the world of medicine and therapy. The beginning is already awesome, maybe in about 10 years from now, this technology will be the most popular therapy.
