The rapid developments in nanostructured materials and
nanotechnology will have a profound impact in many areas of
biomedical applications including delivery of drugs and
biomolecules, tissue engineering, detection of biomarkers, cancer
diagnosis, cancer therapy, and imaging. This field is expanding
fast, and a lot of work is in progress in terms of design,
characterisation, synthesis, and application of materials, for
controlling shape and size at nanometer scale to develop highly
advanced materials for biomedical application and even to design
better pharmaceutical products. In recent years, specific attempts
have been made to acquire multi-functional nanostructures that
could possibly solve the plethora of issues and voids often
encountered in both medicinal and biological researches. This book,
comprising six chapters, emphasises the practical implementation of
few well-known as well as advanced nanostructured materials for the
betterment of human health and diagnostic tools. Each chapter
emphasises a single aspect of the nanostructures in broader
context, providing a brief history, current status, and emerging
trends in the same field. In Chapter 1, authors have provided a
detailed account of the implementation of nanostructures in the
sensing of several key biomolecules, which can detect the
well-being of both internal and external structures of the human
body. Chapter 2 presents a brief analysis of the current
therapeutics focusing on their viability and shortcomings, and
addressing the same through the implementation of nanotechnology.
Chapter 3 encompasses the challenges in the field of cell-imaging
and detection of biomarkers. Authors have provided a vivid
explanation regarding the solution of such challenges through
designing and functionalisation of several metallic nanoparticles
including quantum dots. In Chapter 4, a brief account of the
application of nanostructures in the area of tissue engineering and
magnetic resonance imaging has been discussed. In Chapter 5,
nanomedicines have been introduced by the authors as an advanced
diagnostic and therapeutic option as compared to the traditionally
available solutions for oral cancer treatment. Finally, Chapter 6
discusses the application of nanotechnology (both organic and
inorganic nanoparticles) in restorative dentistry. Also, possible
biocompatibility and toxicity of the nanostructures have been
discussed so as to streamline the process of selection of suitable
tooth implants and oral cleansing techniques.
