Abstract
The concept, molecular self-assembly, especially considering molecule-molecule interaction as an informationprocessing phenomenon, have a profoundly novel effect on thoughts and efforts related to Medicine and Pharmacology. This new style of thinking is still too novice to be used solely and independently for explanation of disease mechanisms and appropriate treatment strategies. However it calls for a range of new researches based on new predictions about disease mechanisms (especially Autoimmune diseases, Endocrinopathies, and Neoplasms) and relevant treatment strategies (superstructural drugs).
