The exponential impact that nanotubes have on tissue integration with implant surfaces is similar to the phenomenon seen with fractals found in nature. The surface area of the lung, or the length of a coastline increases, and our understanding of the interaction at the interface improves, the closer it is measured. Similarly, nanotubes mimic the nano surface morphology of tissues at the cell wall membrane level greatly improving the way implants interact with the body.

If we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical technology through advances in nanotechnology, we can more widely address the medical conditions that are prevalent and reduce the level of human suffering.

Nanotechnology in medicine is going to have a major impact on the survival of the human race.
