Abstract
This talk is an attempt to define a new field called “Nano-enabled Biological Tissues”. As such, this talk serves as a review of both the theoretical underpinnings and relevant recent results.The presentation is divided into several parts:* in the first section (slides 3-4), the concept of nano-enabled tissues are introduced as a complex system that can be engineered at multiple scales.* the second section (slides 5-12) contains three essential ingredients to achieve the technological vision. Current examples of each ingredient are introduced separately.* in the third section (slides 13-17), additional essential ingredients are considered. This includes strategies for system construction (top-down vs. bottom-up), and additional tools for functionality such as computational intelligence.
