This book highlights the emerging paradigm of nanomedicine intersecting two burgeoning fields
of nanotechnology and medicine. Numerous publications have appeared in the literature over the
years especially in cancer nanomedicine. In a boarder sense nanomedicine aims to apply the
knowledge and tools of nanotechnology in a mission to diagnose early and prevent or treat
diseases using biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs). Current research in nanomedicine and its
prospects depend on creating new breakthroughs at the nexus of nanomaterials and biological
systems making use of non-toxic NPs and nano biomaterials as smart theranostic systems for a
variety of diseases including cancer neurodegenerative orthopedic and cardiac diseases. This
book provides a review on recent advancements of nanomedicine in the aforementioned emerging
areas of nanomedicine.
