Rev. 2018, 118 6844-6892.(DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemrev.8b00199) Using this technology, we are aiming to establish in-body hospitals® that allow us to maintain our health unknowingly. Several type of smart nanomachine® detect abnormalities in the body very early and predicts the possibility of developing disease in the future. Also they can fix the abnormalities to prevent serious diseases. This is the future world we are currently drawing with our colleagues who joined from academia or industry of the world with different background aiming to establish in-body hospitals®.
