The explosion of study of nanomaterials in biological applications (the nano–bio interface) can be ascribed to nanomaterials’ growing importance in diagnostics, therapeutics, theranostics (therapeutic diagnostics), and targeted modulation of cellular processes. However, a growing number of critics h...
