“…There are currently many strategies being pursued for the production of functional materials [5–8], the detection of various risks [9–11], environmental remediation including pollution problems [12–14], energy production [15–17], energy and electricity storage [18–20], device technologies [21–23], and biomedical treatment [24–27], and the targets must be detected with high selectivity, high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and with low cost and low emission. Various fundamental areas of science and technology, such as organic synthesis [28–30], supramolecular organization [31–35], physical fabrication [36–38] and biotechnology [39–41], are expected to solve these problems where some additional factors have to be considered in order to achieve a high degree of control over the structure. This is accomplished by two major processes: (i) selective and sensitive recognition of external inputs (stimuli, substrates, etc.)…”

Many recent advances in sensor technology have been possible due to nanotechnological advancements together with contributions from other research fields. Such interdisciplinary collaborations fit well with the emerging concept of nanoarchitectonics, which is a novel conceptual methodology to engineer functional materials and systems from nanoscale units through the fusion of nanotechnology with other research fields, including organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, materials science and biology. In this review article, we discuss recent advancements in sensor devices and sensor materials that take advantage of advanced nanoarchitectonics concepts for improved performance. In the first part, recent progress on sensor systems are roughly classified according to the sensor targets, such as chemical substances, physical conditions, and biological phenomena. In the following sections, advancements in various nanoarchitectonic motifs, including nanoporous structures, ultrathin films, and interfacial effects for improved sensor function are discussed to realize the importance of nanoarchitectonic structures. Many of these examples show that advancements in sensor technology are no longer limited by progress in microfabrication and nanofabrication of device structures – opening a new avenue for highly engineered, high performing sensor systems through the application of nanoarchitectonics concepts.

Over the last decade, researchers have focused on developing an ideal cancer nanomedicine with robust biointerfacing, precise tumor targeting, and effective tumor killing ability. While synthetic approaches have been widely investigated, cell membrane nanotechnology has been attracting growing interest in the nanomedicine field since it enables researchers to exploit the various functions of cells. Prior to development of cell membrane nanotechnology, synthetic cell membrane‐like structures had been employed in nanomedicine. In this review, first a brief comparison between cell membrane and cell membrane‐like structures is provided and the generalized structure and functions of cell membrane are summarized. Cell membrane extraction methods and cell membrane‐based nanoparticle synthesis methods are explained. In addition, applications of these nanotechnologies in many biomedical applications are reviewed. Finally, a perspective of the future prospects and limitations of cell membrane nanotechnology is given. As with many new technologies, there are issues, which when overcome, can allow the potential of cell membrane nanotechnology for future personalized cancer nanomedicine.

“…In this review article, several examples in cell regulation with bio‐related molecules and cell regulation with the aid of external stimuli such as electronic and photonic stimuli are first exhibited. Following these examples, controls of cell alignments and differentiations at extremely different interfacial media, surface with hard nanocarbon structures, and completely soft liquid–liquid interface, [ 34 ] are discussed. We hope that knowledge and accomplishments on these material‐based cell regulations would open ways to final goal of nanoarchitectonics, creation of living‐creature‐like high functional materials systems.…”

as small molecules, their assemblies, and nanostructures would provide precious intuitions to explore functional materials systems for current social demands. In current research approaches on functional materials, it is believed that small structures have to be regulated with appropriate methods for optimization of their functions. [1] This is an essential way to fabricate functional materials with high efficiency and desired specificity. For necessary social demands, functional materials for various subjects such as energy production, [2] energy managements, [3] environmental remediation, [4] sensing for environmental risk, [5] ecological process, [6] information conversion, [7] and biomedical issues [8] have been developed with sufficient understanding of their structures and organization with high resolutions. In addition to well-developed organic synthesis, [9] catalysis, [10] materials fabrication, [11] and supramolecular chemistry, [12] analyses and manipulation in nanoscalelevel of materials become important. [13] In these decades, successful developments of nanotechnology and related science compensate required parts of analyses and manipulation of small structures [14] that were difficult to be achieved by pre-nanotechnology techniques. A step next to nanotechnology innovation would be the establishments of a general methodology to create functional material systems from nanoscale units and components with sufficient understanding of nanoscale structures. Bottom-uptype approaches for fabrication of functional materials are also well discussed with supramolecular chemistry including molecular recognition, molecular association, self-assembly, and self-organization. [15] Therefore, a certain kind of comprehensive methodology to combine nanotechnology with the other research fields such as organic chemistry and supramolecular chemistry has to be now established. This task is assigned to an emerging concept, nanoarchitectonics. [16] The nanoarchitectonics concept was originally proposed by Aono et al. [17] This concept, termed nanoarchitectonics, was originally proposed by Aono in 2000 as explained in some review articles, [17] like initiation of nanotechnology by Richard Feynman. [18] Nanoarchitectonics as scientific terminology was first proposed by Aono at 1st international symposium on nanoarchitectonics using suprainteractions (NASI-1) at Tsukuba in 2000. In early 21st century, this concept has been developed rapidly. This concept was proposed as a methodology to prepare Among all kinds of functional systems and mechanisms, living cells may be regarded as the most advanced functional material systems. Creation of celllike highly functional systems can be an ultimate goal of nanoarchitectonics research. Although full construction of cell-like functional objects may not be going to happen anytime soon, controls of living cells by small molecules and their nanoarchitected assemblies can be accomplishable research subjects. Nanoarchitectonics approaches are helpful for small molecules and nanostructures to...
