Neurotoxicity of Nanomaterials and Nanomedicine presents an overview of the exciting research
in neurotoxicity and nanomaterials. Nanomaterials have been extensively used in medicine
including diagnosis probes drug carriers and embedded materials. While some have been
approved for clinical use most nanomaterials are waiting to be transferred from lab to clinic.
However the toxicity is a main barrier that restricts the translation. This comprehensive book
includes chapters on the most commonly used individual nanoparticles with information on the
applications neurotoxicity and related mechanisms of each providing the most in-depth and
current information available. The book examines the pathways that nanomaterials enter into
and eliminate from the brain along with the strategies that could reduce the neurotoxicity of
nanomaterials. Providing a background to the subject detailed information and ideas for
future directions in research the book is essential for students and researchers in toxicology
and for those in medicine neurology pharmacology pharmaceutical science and materials
science who are researching nanomaterials.
