Nanotoxicity at the interface of stem cell niche- A researcher’s responsibility

Abstract

Nanotechnology is going to occupy the twenty first century as tiny ‘demons’ as J C Maxwell imagined. The credit goes to the most famous and brilliant Caltech physicist Richard Phillips Feynmann who delivered an after-dinner lecture on December 29, 1959 at the annual meeting of American Physical society called “There’s plenty of room at the bottom”. He boldly declared that “the principle of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of manoeuvring things atom by atom” in fact, he saw the atomic manipulation was inevitable and “cannot be avoided” [1].
