Abstract :
This paper describes an architectural design of molecular communication for biological nanomachines to perform cooperative drug delivery, and discusses three key challenges: targeting biological nanomachines to a target site where diseased cells may exist, diagnosis by biological nanomachines to monitor the target site and identify a potential threat and therapy by biological nanomachines to remove the threat. This paper presents an initial design of the molecular communication architecture for cooperative drug delivery and discusses how the molecular communication architecture may address these design challenges.
