The creation of new and more efficient therapies for improving
human health greatly depends on drug delivery systems.
Nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful strategy for the
development of nanoparticles, such as nanoemulsions, liposomes,
nanocrystals, and nanocomplexes, applied in the diagnosis,
treatment, or theranostics of several pathologies and diseases.
This book reviews the most recent research and development in
nanotechnology and, following a multidisciplinary approach,
presents new strategies for drug delivery, including aspects from
chemistry, physics, biology, and imaging methodologies and
exploiting several administration routes, internalization pathways,
site-specific delivery strategies, and the potential cytotoxicity
of nanoparticles. Beginning with a description of the importance
and application of nanotechnology for enhancing existing therapy,
the book moves on to detailing oral, topical, pulmonary, brain,
cancer, and anti-inflammatory drug delivery approaches; gene
delivery approaches; theranostic approaches; and nanoparticle
cytotoxicity. Practical and user friendly, it is suitable for
advanced undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students of
nanoscience and nanotechnology; researchers in nanoscience,
nanotechnology, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, pharmaceutical
sciences, medicine, and bioengineering, especially those with an
interest in drug delivery or theranostics; and academia and
university readership.
