Medical Nanobiotechnology - (Woodhead Publishing Biomaterials) by Sougata Ghosh & Thomas J Webster (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Medical Nanobiotechnology: Nanomedicine for Repair, Regeneration, Remodelling, and Recovery thoroughly reviews the potential of functionalized biomaterials as ideal candidates for nanomedicine. This book covers advances in the development of nanotheranostic agents that can simultaneously help in both effective therapy and rapid diagnosis. A range of materials is covered, including their fabrication, characterization, and assessment, as well as their functionalization and incorporation into implants and medical devices. Clinical aspects and challenges are discussed, helping bridge the gap between laboratory research and the translational impact as nanomedicine begins to develop point-of-care customized therapy. This book is an interdisciplinary reference for researchers and R&D groups interested in the development of novel nanobiomaterials for therapeutic applications.
