Abstract: | The ultimate nanomedicine will be a cell-like machinery capable of reaching a specific target in the body and performing a desired therapeutic action in a controlled fashion. To make such machinery a reality, we need to combine fundamental knowledge and technological developments in different areas including polymer chemistry, biology, enzymology, and biochemical engineering. In this viewpoint, I put forward my vision of creating a nanofactory as a step towards developing cell-like nanomedicines. To make the proposed nanofactory a reality there are many challenges ahead. I propose plausible solutions to address some of the main challenges. |
