所有的生物都是由细胞组成的。细胞是生命的结构和功能单位。本资源信作为纳米机器的文献指南，纳米机器不仅驱动细胞内运动，而且驱动细胞的运动。这些机器通常是蛋白质或大分子组件，需要适当的燃料来运行。虽然传统上，这些机器是生物学和生物化学研究的主题，但近年来越来越多地使用物理概念和技术，有助于定量理解其操作机制背后的基本原理。利用这些原理设计和控制人造纳米机器的可能性为自下而上的纳米技术方法开辟了一个新的前沿。
All living creatures are made of cells. The cell is the structural and functional unit of life. This Resource Letter serves as a guide to the literature on nano-machines, which drive not only intracellular movements but also motility of the cell. These machines are usually proteins or macromolecular assemblies that require appropriate fuel for their operations. Although, traditionally, these machines were subjects of investigation in biology and biochemistry, increasing use of the concepts and techniques of physics in recent years have contributed to the quantitative understanding of the fundamental principles underlying their operational mechanisms. The possibility of exploiting these principles for the design and control of artificial nanomachines has opened up a new frontier in the bottom-up approach to nanotechnology.
