NANOSCALE MATERIALS IN TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY T...

This book is the first of its kind to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the
use of nanoscale materials for biomedical applications  with a particular focus on drug
delivery  theragnosis and tissue regeneration. It also describes in detail the methods used in
the preparation of nanoparticles. Response of nanoparticles in biological systems are also
explored.Nanotechnology has led to the advent of a new field  nanomedicine  which focuses on
the use of nanomaterials as drug-delivery vehicles to develop highly selective and effective
drugs. The combination of molecular imaging and nanotechnology has produced theragnostic
nanoparticles  which allow the simultaneous detection and monitoring of diseases.
Nanotechnology can also be combined with biomaterials to create scaffolds for tissue
regeneration. Further  significant advances have been made in the areas of drug delivery 
theragnostic nanoparticles and tissue regeneration materials. Some nanomedicines and tissue
regeneration materials are already commercially available  while others are undergoing clinical
trials  and promising results have been documented. Despite the rapid advances in nanomedicine
there is a relative dearth of literature on the biomedical applications of nanoscale materials.
