Nanotechnology and nanomaterials in the treatment of life-threatening diseases
nanomedicine, diagnostics and drug delivery
1 online resource (xv, 397 pages) : illustrations (some color)
This book takes a scientific approach to nanotechnology and nanomaterials applications in medicine, while also explaining the core biological principles. Structured by major disease groups, it offers a practical, application-based focus ranging from diagnostics and imaging to drug delivery, monitoring, therapies, and disease prevention. It also covers the synthesis of nanomaterials and their potential health risks (particularly toxicity).
