Wiley, 2013. — 516 p.This book describes a broad area of nanomedicine which involves mainly applications, diseases, and diagnostics. The comprehensive coverage provides researchers, academics, and health specialists with a great tool, that includes techniques applicable to various uses. The book provides a comprehensive in-depth multidisciplinary integration of fundamental concepts and applications of the emerging multifunctional nanomedicines in the areas of medicine, drug delivery, and therapeutics. In the last couple of decades, the development of new biomedical, electronic, and optical tools has provided a unique opportunity to look at materials on a nanoscale. The resultant nanotechnology boom has significantly affected the biological sciences and related areas; imaging at a subcellular level and precise delivery of drugs to tissues are two such important areas. Nanomedicine for Drug Delivery and Therapeutics focuses mainly on the broad areas of research and applications. It presents both a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts as well as a practical guide for numerous applications.
