This book provides a comprehensive overview of current achievements in biomedical applications of nanotechnology, including stem cell based regenerative medicine, medical imaging, cell targeting, drug delivery, and photothermal/photodynamic cancer therapy. New approaches in early cancer diagnosis and treatment are introduced with extensive experimental results. In particular, some novel materials have been synthesized with new properties that are most effective in cancer therapy. Some of the key issues are also addressed with these recent discoveries such as bio safety and bio degradability, that are essential in the success of nano medicine.
An important aspect of this book is the introduction of nanotechnology to the medical communities that are searching for new treatments of cancer, therefore breaking barriers between the physical and medical sciences so that more MDs will be able to appreciate the new discoveries and establishments in medical diagnoses and therapies capable of tackling major clinical issues.
Contents:
- Engineering Approaches for Creating Skeletal Muscle (Caleb Vogt, Mitchell Tahtinen and Feng Zhao)
- Characterization of Biomaterial Patches as Fetal Surgery Implants (Rigwed Tatu and Chia-Ying Lin)
- Three-Dimensional Bioprinting for Cartilage Regeneration (Hailin Zhu, Hui Gong, Qing Liu and Harry Huimin Chen)
- Directed Differentiation of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells for Therapeutic Applications (Lauren N Randolph, Evan B Witmer and Xiaojun Lian)
- Magnetic Nanohybrids for Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Phototherapy Applications (Muhammad Zubair Iqbal and Aiguo Wu)
- Plasmonic Nanoparticles Application in Biosensor and Bioimaging (Mengmeng Liu)
- Delivering Nanoparticles to Cancer Cells (Ronald L Huston)
- Multifunctional Nanomaterials for Cancer Theranostics (Shun Shen)
Readership: University students and researchers from diversified backgrounds such as physics, materials science, engineering, and chemistry. Both undergraduate and graduate students will find it a valuable reference book on key topics related to nanomaterials science and technology.
Key Features:
- Focus on the critical areas of biomaterials development and synthesis, stem cell based tissue engineering, and cancer nanotheranostics
- Wide coverage in medical practical applications. These include early cancer diagnosis, cancer therapy, cell targeting, intelligent drug delivery, and multi-modal medical imaging
