A key open research issue in the area of molecular communication is establishing interfaces between a molecular communication environment where molecular communication takes place and its external environment. In this paper, we describe an architecture of externally controllable molecular communication systems and introduce two types of interfaces: one type for bio-nanomachines to interact with each other in a molecular communication environment, and the other type for bio-nanomachines to interact with conventional device in the external environment. The architecture of externally controllable molecular communication systems is then applied to control the spatio-temporal dynamics of molecular concentrations in a molecular communication environment, demonstrating the applicability of the architecture to pattern formation for medical applications such as tissue regeneration.
