The progress of nanomedicine inspired by bacteriophage

Nanomedicine offers great promise for early diagnosis and treatment of formidable diseases.  The unique morphology and biology characteristics of bacteriophage provide unprecedented opportunity for such endeavor.  The paper summarizes the application of bacteriophage in nanobiomaterials, nanomedicine, nanomedicine delivery and nanodiagnosis, especially the nano-imaging reagents and future direction concerning nanomedicine based on bacteriophage.
