Nanomedicine

Nanotechnology is at the forefront of advances in medicine. Nanomedicine: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition provides an important review of this exciting technology and its growing range of applications. In this new edition, all chapters are thoroughly updated and revised, with new content on antibacterial technologies, and green nanomedicine. After an introduction to nanomedicine, part one discusses key materials and their properties, whilst part two goes on to review nanomedicine for therapeutics and imaging, before nanomedicine for soft tissue engineering is discussed in part three, including organ regeneration, skin grafts, nanotubes and self-assembled nanomaterials. Nanomedicine for bone and cartilage tissue engineering is the focus of part four, before new additional content is covered in parts five and six, including nanostructured particles for antibacterial purposes, as well as advances in green nanomedicine and using natural nanomedicine to fight disease. With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Nanomedicine: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition is an indispensable guide for all those involved in the research, development and application of this exciting technology, whilst providing a comprehensive introduction for students and academics interested in this field.
